True, and going by this, the judgement in the button scenario was valid and correct.
I'm just saying that the rule could have been worded differently. For example, G25 says "ROBOTS may not intentionally detach or leave parts on the FIELD" but then the blue box clarifies that "G25 is not intended to penalize ROBOTS that encounter accidental breakage (e.g. a failed MECHANISM that falls off), as those actions are not intentional."
They could have worded the "fully supported" rule differently. Granted it would probably be futile trying to define what was OK and what was not, hence the all-sweeping rule.
