Re: Perennial Q&A Answers

I hope it doesn't sound like I'm implying that the GDC is the bad guy; I would say that in general their rulings are consistent and predictable and understandable; very few surprises, and never anything I would characterize as "stupid". Even the responses that are effectively "because we said so" help keep consistency in the rules by not changing every little nitpicked word, lest we get a 2000 page manual. "Relief valve directly on the compressor" is a good example - that takes one sentence, versus other options which you could spell out in several paragraphs which I'm sure meet the same intent.
What I'm looking for is the least painful way to make some of the grey areas more black and white, so there is less confusion between teams and inspection is easier (its a go or no-go). Does the GDC take questions in the Q&A during the after-season? I may ask them the question I posed at the start of this thread regarding using previous year's rulings (not rules).
