Say you and Shaquille O'Neal throw the same shot that lands in exactly the same place, then through your interpretation, by rule, you must play a more awkward lie while Shaq's big feet get him "relief" behind the solid obstacle. To me there's something wrong with that.

Appreciate the discourse Chuck. I'll pursue with the RC.
