Question Re: Rearranging tubes on scoring pegs?

Would like to revisit this question with regards to PEG SCORE and rearranging of your own GAME PIECES on the SCORING GRID.

From the Glossary:

Quote:
Once a GAME PIECE has been released by the POSSESSING ROBOT (even momentarily) and is HANGING (e.g. it is fully supported by the PEG), it is considered to be HANGING until the end of the match.
My first impression on reading this was that the GAME PIECE, specifically a LOGO PIECE, would be scored based on the initial peg on which it was placed. In other words, cannot be moved. Or if it is, only the original location counts for scoring purposes. But some of the discussion here at CD got me looking at it more deeply.

There are no rules that specifically forbid moving LOGO PIECES on your own SCORING GRID, but neither are there rules that state that the final resting place of the LOGO PIECE is how it will be scored.

Quote:
<G65> The PEG SCORE is the sum of points determined by the positions of the GAME PIECES on each SCORING GRID. A LOGO PIECE HANGING in front of an UBERTUBE doubles the points for that SCORING PEG. The table below gives the value for each LOGO PIECE HANGING on a SCORING PEG.
Using the definition of HANGING from the Glossary, this seems to me to be implying that the original placement - HANGING - of a LOGO PIECE is how that piece will be scored.

My question then is: Can you rearrange HANGING LOGO PIECES on your SCORING GRID in an attempt to improve your score, or are LOGO PIECES scored based on the first peg upon which they are hung?
