That is my point which some of you are to thick headed to understand.

I don't think it says taking practice swings, spitting or chewing gum is illegal either.

The point being that generally, if it doesn't say (or define) that it is illegal, it isn't and would then be legal.
right?

As stated above, the rule book does not list every permissible act. But it does list illegal acts, and any act not listed as illegal would by omission not be illegal.

The ASA case play on D3K situations is pretty specific the defense is repsonbile for knowing the count and the situation.
