Re: De-Scoring is illegal

From Bills Blog:

"I want to clarify the Game Design Committee’s intention on a few matters to save you time and resources:
1) De-scoring is not permitted (ie. You may not remove game pieces from a trailer)
2) Goal tending is not permitted (ie. You may not block access to a trailer)"

If these were the GDC intentions, why were they not communicated from the beginning? Many times are our questions are answered with "Don't look for loopholes, stick with the intention of the rule". How are we to know the intentions of the GDC if they do not spell it out in the rules? Many hours of brainstorming was wasted trying to decide if it was possible to descore or goaltend.
Sorry for the rant
