Just shows what an expressive language we have. It is difficult at time to be as precise as you need to be.
Yes, we all agree that we know what the GDC meant, but it's not what they wrote, and until they fix their language we have to go with the literal interpretation of what is written (which is the definition of "Lawyering the rules").
I'll recommend to Bill Miller that they bring an accomplished college professor of English onto the GDC.
