I am not sure I agree with you, exactly. It seems to me that they don't LIKE it, they never INTENDED it, but they will ALLOW it (assuming you take the bother to disassemble it into at least two FABRICATED ITEMS before carrying it in* ).
I will not criticize a team that follows this rule to the letter any more than I will criticize a team that is .001" under the size limit or .01 lb under the weight limit. We go up to the line, we don't cross.
Callin' 'em as I see 'em.
