[QUOTE="Kingreaper, post: 5197643, member: 83870"] :uhoh: I'm sorry, "can be used in place of" now means "can be used as"? Why do you ASSUME that the plain english interpretation of the rules is wrong? It makes perfect sense to use it with the plain english interpretation ("can be used in place of" means: when you could do X, you can do this instead; "can be used as" means: this can be a type of X) For example: Barbecue sauce can be used in place of ketchup on a burger. (if you use barbecue sauce on a burger it doesn't become ketchup, but it takes the place that ketchup would have taken) An old chair leg can be used as a fence post, when one needs replacing (if you use an old chair leg, it'll be a fence post, with different properties to the standard fence post, but still a fence post) The rules support is the fact that those are the wordings of the rules. What more support is needed? Would you ask for rules support that walking provokes OAs, and deny the use of any sections on walking, or OAs? [/QUOTE]
