Correct. Both of these cube ruling posts are seemingly very simple and I knew ahead of time where most of the opinion would lie.

I posted them to highlight some of the ambiguity in the current rules.

I fully support Phil Simborg's position that the rules need to be expanded and clarified. For instance, the sentence that is quoted from the rules,

The cube should not be handled capriciously; verbal or physical acts may be interpreted as cube actions.

is full of ambiguity. What constitutes capriciousness? And, even if this is considered capricious, note the word may in the sentence.

This is analagous to having the NFL rulebooks state that "a player carrying the football over the plane of the goal line may be awarded a touchdown".
