This little exercise is a perfect example of what is wrong and frustrating with so many aspects of our lives in society today in this country.
Everybody has an opinion, and is very happy and willing to express it and then to defend it whether it makes any sense, whether it has any logic or not, whether it is in direct contradiction to a previously considered and established rule.
There is no longer any truth to be found, there is only opinions ensconced in dogma stemming from self importance (my opinion is just as good as your opinion) thinking. Even when confronted with the written rule which contemplated the exact situation, opinions will continue to be argued.
In this little example it is for the most part inconsequential, but consider this same situation as it applies to something like, say, immigration.
Asking a question like this, as innocently as it may have been asked, prior to looking to see if there is already an established rule that directly addresses the situation, only gives license to people to opinionate and muddy the water, garanteeing that some going forward, when confronted with the same or similar situation, will respond based on opinion rather than fact.
