I agree that this rule is very very confusing. It seems to me that the cost of labor can be debated until the cows come home. What's the going rate for running a milling machine in an economically depressed area, or better yet Mexico - going for these days???
If I have one of my Engineers run the drill press do I have to count the labor rate of what the Engineer makes or what I would have paid a machinist???
Can I have my students run the machines and determine their rate at minimum wage (I'm cheap, and just trying to operate under a tight budget!)???
What if I simply recruit everyone that will make every part and assembly that will be used, and make them all team members (what's a team member???)
I love rules, as long as they are understandable - but this one needs to be better defined.
