Re: Simplified rules: good or bad?
The intention of this question had nothing to do with cheating or finding loopholes. I just feel that the new rules leave way too much to individual interpretation and don't cover many important issues. In many ways i find them more confusing that last year's rules. Its seems to me that there is a happy midpoint betwen overspevification, and underspecification. Last year things were way overspecified, and this year way underspecified. I don't mind using common sense, and thats not what i'm complaining about. I agree that last year there were way too many rules covering a single issue, that FIRST could have just replaced with a single rule and said "use common sense. The intent is obvious." My gripe is about grey areas this year, which are covered by NO rules and where common sense and GP tell you nothing.
Now that cheating has ben mentioned however, i am worried that people will take advantage of the rules. I am also worried that different inspectors will interpret the rules differently and there will be issues with that. It was bad enough last year.
