Hughes/Crab - I understand the sentiment and agree the point that its silly to become a slave to rules and regs with a disregard to common sense; but you can't have a beef with someone just because they have a harder limit than you.
In the end for any regulation to have a meaning there has to be some hard limit or else it becomes a free for all.
However I think in the context of what has happened here I don't think we are talking about minor oversights but perhaps systemic, willful oblivion.
