And yet here it is.
We all know that all mentors and all students won't/can't read all the rules.
Even if you think they should.
However, don't be arguing with those mentors or students who HAVE read the rules unless you can point to a rule that allows what you're arguing about.
Sometimes EGOs get in the way.
It's good to have a great idea, as long as you can back it up (with a rule or a proper engineering practice.. etc).
