Thanks for your patience in explaining this. Based on this reading of the rule, I'll agree that the "exact wording" appears to run counter to the meaning of the rule. However, I can offer no further solution other than to say that "words are imperfect symbols to communicate intent."

(This is not to exonerate the rule-crafters-- I've said before that with proper review, the manual can and should be free of grievous errors. However, the closer you examine the language, the more interpretative intricacies you'll find.)

Yes, if I were the GDC, I'd agree with that interpretation.
