I can't tell if the responder is trying to be funny or sarcastic - makes me laugh and cry at the same time. Shield the entire field???

Anyways, what I don't get is the one Bill brought up - How can something done on purpose (if this is the normal method..), be considered "incidental"???
I think that Q&A is similar to the one where the team asked about using a horn on the robot--the robot would be given massive shocks and all, but then they backed it up with the no-obnoxious-noisemakers rule in the event section. At the same time, a robot that used a love tap (and didn't ram or anything) against the wall to release jammed balls would (if I read the intent of the answer correctly) be allowed.

Someone feel free to seek clarification.
