I think this is just fine, and a nice overall first judgement and discussion of the issues. When we were discussing this on Discord, it was a limited audience and I don't think anyone spoke up for the "it actually reads that way on a natural reading", it was mainly nix and I agreeing that boardgame rules generally read the *other* way. For these sorts of uncertain R217 readings that *could* be read both ways reasonably, and where the dominant reading isn't pegged to some very specific past judgement but a more hazy 'game custom', a completely fresh "it reads that way to me, in my opinion" is a perfectly sound and solid basis for deciding. And if the players are really split (which they probably aren't), it would head for Moot whichever way you went, and you definitely provided sufficient arguments opposite the Caller's arguments for a Moot to chew on. -G.
