I think that one of the other things that we need is a new feature in the manual. Let's call it a green box. In the the green box, the Designers put out a plain English statement of why they think we need the rule. Intent then becomes obvious. Lawyer-ing aught then become a thing of the past. And finally, GP (or lack of it) becomes Penalize-able.
