So R2166 is a backing document.
Arguments: You're missing the second part - "existing solely because its backing document defines its existence". That's the reason assets can't have multiple backing documents: an asset can't exist 'solely because of' each of two different things. But in general, rule-defined assets would probably continue to exist (at least in some form) even if Rule 2166 were repealed and left "asset" undefined; thus, Rule 2166 doesn't satisfy the condition.
