G39 "Launching" interpretation

The rule says
Quote:
G39 ROBOTS are prohibited from launching BOULDERS unless they are in contact with the opponent’s TOWER or carpet in the opponent’s COURTYARD, and not in contact with any other carpet.
Violation: TECH FOUL per BOULDER
Notice it doesn't say anything about what direction you launch the BOULDER. I think we've all been assuming they mean you can't launch it toward the TOWER. But if you read it strictly and literally, you are prevented from tossing a ball anywhere. For example, you couldn't toss a ball from your SECRET PASSAGE into the NEUTRAL ZONE.
