Well, I guess that's in need of some revision. Perhaps it would be better said:

"All teams possess the right to practice their strategy, and as such, must be respectful towards each side (Robot interaction vs. Independent tuning), so as not to compromise any team's ability to use their practice time more than anyone else"

That would create a situation in which teams defend to a small margin, while others tune to a small margin, a happy average.

I guess the point is that teams who defend should be most courteous, as they are interacting with others, but they should be, in no way unable to interact in such a way during practice matches if done carefully and respectively. Foremost, communication. And in no way, intent to destroy. That's something we're never supposed to do. Ever.
