Can we use old Victors

This response suggests that it was actually a rule that was later changed, which is not the case. It never was a rule. As one of the inspectors at Milwaukee last year, I was told I had to enforce this "rule". I did not agree with it as no one could show me where it was written in the rules, but we were told to enforce it anyway. After returning home from that event I posted this question on the Q&A which confirmed my beliefs.

AJ, your team deserves an apology, and since I'm one of the inspectors who had to enforce this decision (not sure if I inspected your team or not), I will offer that apology. The bottom line is that someone thought they remembered a rule (when they were really thinking about the red/blue 883 rule from many years ago) and enforced it incorrectly. I feel very bad that the actions of the inspection crew in Milwaukee caused several teams to have to do quite a bit of unnecessary work to swap out perfectly-legal speed controllers which is why I posted the Q&A right after I got home.
