I'm not fond of the forced guessing games.
Why do we have to ask for clarification for the most basic things, it took a lot of pondering and discussion before anyone even realized batteries might fall into this category, and then it was QnA'd and determined to be illegal.
It makes me never want to QnA anything, and just go with Plausible deniability. If this were never brought up and never QnA'd would we have been stopped carrying batteries in? Was this already in documentation/training for volunteers? If so, why were teams never informed? If more explicit rules aren't going to be enforced unless someone asks about them, why even have the QnA system? It seems nothing is illegal until you ask about it.
Why does the GDC seem to try to be coy? If their intent had been from the beginning to do this, why not tell us? Why weren't we informed day one what covering a corner with bumpers meant, as it was clearly ambiguous? Why are most QnA's answered in the most noncommittal way possible? Dave, why do you publicly comment on discussion on QnA's warning how they "might" be interpreted, then say that it's of course non-official as it's not a QnA. Why not just say that in the QnA?
