You leave too much room for the judge to nail you with the technical.

Do you mean referees? I am a referee. Clarifications are still pending (at least in my channels). I have no problem with the opportunity of the rule: certainly there are situations in which you can exercise G28 contact initiation without violating G45, and I had not meant to disregard that in my posts. Philosophically and personally, I do like the strategy discussion, but my problem is how to call the difference (a perennial concern in "playing the game" calls). I do not wish for teams to assume anything not in evidence, for their own sake. That's all I'll say on the matter, but please do not base your designs on facts not in evidence.
