Society is full of ambiguity and inaccuracy. While this is difficult for
engineers and programmers to truly understand, it is at the very core of the
human condition.
That doesn't make something "broken" or "dysfunctional". It simply makes it
human. Its' discussion likewise fills a human need to collaboratively attempt
to resolve the apparent inconsistencies.
Ultimately...the sponsors of a contest will decide what "rules" they think are
important (e.g. - the single op's 500 meter circle may not move within a
grid...even though there is no prohibition to that in the stated rules) and
what is not (e.g. - rovers may circle to their heart's content and be publicly
celebrated for doing so, even though such actions fail to meet the stated
objectives of the event).
I, for one, am thankful to the ARRL for their defense of my hobby and their
sponsorship of events that bring me joy. My hope is that those in Newington
realize that when someone states a dissenting opinion, it is not usually
indicative of opposition; rather, it is usually an indication of an attempt to
help affect a more positive outcome.
Onward.
