"Attaching" to the vertical pole.

From the Q&A site:
Section: 4.3 Status: Answered Date Answered: 1/16/2004
Q: Would a robot receive the 50 points if, by design, it would be leaning on (but not supported by) the vertical bar?
A: Please read the many other answers on this topic but... yes as long as you are not in violation of HANGING or SUPPORTED.
vs.
Section: 7.6 Status: Answered Date Answered: 1/16/2004
Q: If a robot is SUPPORTED only by the horizontal bar, but is stabilized by being in contact with a vertical bar, is it attached to the bar? No mechanism grips the vertical bar, and the robot would still hang if the vertical bar was "removed."
A: Yes.
My interpretation of these two answers is that they are directly contradictory with one another. Could someone else, if they disagree with me, help for me to see how they're not contradictory and to clarify their meaning and intent.

I realize, of course, that the answers are not official, but I'm interested in reading about others' interpretation of these two answers and how to reconcile my perceptions about their contradictions.

Thanks.
