This clearly isn't the case for the many things not allowed within the rules (intentional destruction, etc) - but using GP as a judgement tool demonstrates an inherent misunderstanding of what GP is supposed to be.

My point is is that just because something is a rule doesnt mean that is the only reason not to do it. You misunderstood what I was saying: In other sports, the point is to win at all costs. In FIRST, the point is to be graciously proffesional.
EDIT: I don't see how using GP as a judgment too is a misunderstanding: In real life, if someone falls over, I help them up. If someone's robot breaks, then I help them fix it. I dont kick dirt into their face, or give them poor advice. If you ask yourself "is it GP" before doing something, either in FIRST or IRL, then that can be a very could way to judge the action.
