A very straightforward statement, clearly there shouldn't be any question now.

I stayed off this thread for a while, but now have a few things I'd like to share. It became clear to me that there was no hidden game this week. If there had been, I would have expected to see posts or hints from the GDC, and quite quickly; nothing. The kicker was the rules update that said a ball stuck on the truss could be dislodged by having a ref shake it. No way that truss was being used for anything else if it wasn't bolted to the floor! And how would they bolt it, anyway, given the nature of the venues?

Ah well. Occam wins! But people who took this seriously enough to be unkind to others who speculated differently than themselves, on either side of the debate, didn't win in my reckoning. Let's not turn CD into Facebook.
