This is the sort of thing that needs to come down in an update -- and while I'm sure it will -- I won't believe it until I see it.

I was just going to say that. It's great to have this tipoff to maybe a future update, but seeing as Bill has not clarified/re-interpreted/referenced any official rules it seems about as worthwhile as someone saying it on CD at this point.

The vacuum suggestion, on the other hand, references and applies a current rule that can be found in the rulebook. I'm not discounting what he's said about the descoring/blocking, just saying that I would merely take it as it is, a suggestion and possibly a tip to a future update.
