For the record, this is not my interpretation. What I mean by that is that I don't believe that the GDC intended to to outlaw any material not listed in R21. I am trying to point point out the dangers of answers on the Q&A that do not explain the basis of the ruling. And I am trying to prevent ambiguity and the potential for anyone to misinterpret a ruling.
Nobody wants inspections to be a nightmare, with teams and inspectors disagreeing on the meaning of a rule or a Q&A. Why not make the ruling clear and move on?
If the GDC is trying to model real life, and the frustrations of dealing with poorly defined requirements, then that might be an explanation, but I hope that is not the case.
