A. The Q&A is very easy to search by rule. Of the nine questions asked and answered related to G22, one indicates that I'm right (without explicitly saying so, but given that FRC is a restrictive rules set and not a permissive one, they don't have to say so outright) and the rest don't address it.

B. Your opinion on the sportsmanship involved is irrelevant to a discussion of strategy. It would be a mistake to dismiss what could be a valid strategy as "rules lawyering". Even if you have no intention of doing it, you should be prepared in the event that your opponents do.
