They gave us some freedom to have screw heads under the bumper but we had no right to expect that this would extend outside this space. There was a question, it was answered relatively fast and while there is time to work around it if you have to.

I don't see how we can blame the GDC.

I'm with you Joe. I thought the rule was clear from the start.

I think it just shows how people can look at the same rules and have different conclusions. That's why the GDC's job is so hard.
