I agree, but it will still mean people will have differing oppinions with no way to back up their claims other than "it feels right to me." Which, I think, might be fine for a group, especially in the middle of a game. Since we're outside of a game, we just have the luxury of looking stuff up and taking our time to decide.
In fact, I think you'll find that a lot of people apply the common-sense approach to their games and are very unhappy with the programmatic approach. It's just that such people tend to avoid the rules forum.
I do agree with this. In fact, I would say that many people would find absolutely no use in the Rules Forum because of its tight fisted interprietative nature. I'm sure it drives many people away.
