Sure, but (I hope) the point of the q and a and updates isn't to confuse teams and make it harder for them to pass inspection (though historically, it seems that this may be true).
When the GDC changes the definition of words in the manual, it would be really nice to see them outlined in an update(of the first draft of the manual). Would you be happy if you turned up to your competition and discovered that the type of tread used on your wheel was suddenly considered a traction device and was illegal? If nobody had asked the bumper question, then teams would have shown up to competition with angled bumpers, and would have been unable to use their intake mechanism that relied on angled bumpers.
