Actually it's the opposite. Arguing something is a bad call because it doesn't fit the preconceived belief of how the rule is enforced is contrarian when it was based on a false premise to begin with.
It's not being a contrarian, AD. It's called 10 years of experience with games, clinics, camps and tests. You should try it sometime before accusing someone of merely being a contrarian.
I'm sorry that you have a mistaken belief on when and why the rule should be applied. But that doesn't make the merits of my argument any less.
