The GDC isn't a perfect entity and that is why you have to read their rules and decisions with intent rather then literal meaning. The GDC is also a small group of people. The FRC community is a massive group of people. I don't think it's all that fair to blame the GDC or be angry with the GDC when they are many orders of magnitude smaller then the group of people they design the game for. Granted, they did take back something they said nearly a month ago, but you always have to be careful when even the remote possibility exists that the grey areas may be closed up later on with FRC.
