That's a perfect example of two problems with the rules this year.
One: if the angle is optional, why don't the rules say so? (And why haven't the rules been updated, given that this question was first raised weeks ago?)
Two: if the Q&A advises something that isn't directly supported by the rules, what do teams do? (And what do you expect the inspectors to do? Assume that a Q&A is as good as a rule change, and make the teams comply with the Q&A?)
