Just feels needlessly accusatory.

Nothing accusatory, unless there are some concerns from the one doing the reading. I'm sure that you have seen others skirt the rules in the past, as Im sure Justin probably has. Whether it be here or in any other part of life, having something that follows the rules when inspected closely and then abandons them when there us no clear way to catch a violation is wrong. Volkswagen comes to mind, as does recent Mini Cooper crash testing issues.
When I said that I didn't mean to imply that he had cheated in the past or was saying it was okay to do so. But if rookie teams or veteran teams with a lot of fresh membership read something written as it was, they might assume that as long as you pass inspection you can do whatever you want since there is no way to enforce it. I have seen it in the past with rookies and even some well respected veteran teams.
I just want to be sure that everyone stays on the right side of the rules to keep things the way they should be.
