It worked!
How exactly do you think making a logical rule change is better than letting a crew make it up on the fly? If 1-1-6 is so useful, please provide a couple of the "countless" real life examples of when you have used it for the betterment of a game. And who do you think is "biased" or "opposing" here?
Well that conclusion is based the the presumption, that the Referee, empowered to make the ruling, "in the spirit of good sportsmanship" is logical, rational, IMPARTIAL and experienced enough (with the added knowledge available through consultation with his crew) to render a carefully considered, informed judgment, based on the unique (not covered by rule) situation being confronted with necessitating a decision.
NFHS: 1-1-6 does not connote any "Divine" influence or power, but when applied to unique, appropriate (not covered by rule) situations seems far more practical, and conducive to the appropriate continuance of the contest at hand, and the interest of participants than endless discussion between active competitors whose inherently biased interests, overwhelmingly influence their perspective.
Until such point, where
EVERY POSSIBLE situation was actually "covered by rule" 1-1-6 provides a necessary, and practical SPECIFIC means of addressing potential disputes, on site, to allow prompt continuation of the game at hand. Where deemed necessary, any such decisions rendered can be further addressed by appropriate review, which may serve to add further detail, or clarity, to existing rule coverage.
