Right. That's the interpretation the Q&A had as well. See the edit in my post above. (Or did you read that far down?)

The other interpretation, which is the one I had before seeing the Q&A, was the "rule says these sources, this is not repeat not repeat not one of those sources, therefore illegal". This interpretation is now null and void (and I'm glad someone asked the question before inspections, otherwise an inspector might have taken the interpretation I did).
