5) I have always had a problem with complaints about "lawyering" the rules. If we don't understand a rule, how can we follow it? All the discussion I have seen about rules, especially the fastener protrusion rule has to do with understanding the rule or trying to clear up inconsistencies (allowing pockets for fastener protrusions, but fastener protrusions are illegal).

Every team should make every effort to fully understand all rules so they won't be surprised at inspection. Don't complain about attempts to understand.

6) this is not a criteria
7) Neither is this
