Exactly. I also think that we don't really know the 'real intent' of the rules. By saying 'that goes against the intent of the rules and thus shouldn't be done', is almost like saying 'the protection of hurlders goes against the intent of the rules, so I'm not going to follow that rule'. It doesn't matter what people think the 'intent of the rules' is, we have the play the game that was given to us and not make our own inteprentations and intents.
