There is actually a 3rd option (Not MY opionion, but I know it well)
"Spirt" and "Intent" don't matter, only the RULES matter, and if you can find a
loophole, go for it (Hey, we can say that SO2R is really a violation of the
intent of "single" - I won't but...)
To quote Junior Johnson (NASCAR Racer, Owner, car designer - guy who first used
drafting...)
"If you ain't cheatin, you ain't tryin"
There are LOTS of grey areas in rules. I cam across one in a Robotics
competition we just finished building for. Rules say 1/4" pneumatic tube, max
ID of .188 (they supply the exact tubing). They say NOTHING about running
pieces in parallel. We decided against that design, because if they ruled
against it at tech inspection, we'd have been dead - BTW the cylinders and air
supply were 1/8 pipe, so we could have put in a Tee, and doubled our air flow...
