We need to be careful about the language we use, however. There are differences between working through problems and writing hypothetically and declarative statements like, "1/8 inch is not enough... If I was a ref, I'd tell you to go back to the drawing board."

I understand that Jason disclaimed his role as an official in his post, but it's a behavior that happens frequently here and I just wanted to call some attention to it so that we all remember that we are not, generally, the arbiters of these decisions and, more importantly, that new teams understand that the things they read here are meaningless when they come to competition.
