As I did say, the traditional way of interpreting the regulations (and if I may say, the most logical) is to use the length of the preceding duty to determine how much a break you need, and to tack that on to the end of that duty. Any further rest before the next duty is a 'bonus'.
your interpretation of the rules is incorrect. you 'Tack" it onto the beginning of the next duty period not at the end of the last duty period.
The point is to rest before the Flight not to rest after a long flight. the regulator doesn't give a sh@t if you are rested after a flight.
listen to fireflybob cause he knows what he is talking about and read his reply once again especially the words in italics.
