Re: Simplified rules: good or bad?

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.
Can you cite a few specific examples so I might better understand this question?
