It's here: https://faculty.washington.edu/kerim/nomic/cases/ "New" players frequently find things in there to contradict what veteran players state. It happens. It's written. If you find it in there, it overrides "custom". If you, personally, don't want to read it, and want to pretend the game is something other than it is, that's up to you. But as you found a couple months ago, you'll have a bad time.
