Your hypothetical scenario is very unlikely to occur, but I suppose it could happen. It is a good thing you didn't mention any names. That team would have to be a complete klutz.

If your message includes 'look out what you wish for......' you could have a point.

When I brought this subject up last year, my point was not that there was a lot of cheating going on. On the contrary, I truly believe that almost everyone was acting within their interpretation of the rules.

I applaud the clarification of the rules. It was long overdue. The no identical spares rule is a bit of overkill. If someone is inclined to directly violate the rule, then no set of rules is going to correct much of the cheating problem. I feel that allowing identical spares at anytime is fine and let professional ethics take it from there.
