Now, I know I'm not a Magistrate and have no real weight hereābut isn't that sort of thing sometimes necessary when deciding if something is a violation?
Sometimes you need to take something that's a known violation and see if it's really analogous to the current situation, in which case the current situation is a violation.
The general feel I get from Tom about these cases is that if you are starting down the path of Hypotheticals, you are reading too much into the rules and over complicating things.
