Perhaps one of the most consistent things you can anticipate from teenagers, is a never ending creativity in trying to "push the envelope". Sadly some adults never grow out of this despite aging, and even encourage actual teenagers to push that envelope even harder.
Of course there's "nothing in the rules to prohibit this" as the rule makers assume (sometimes incorrectly) that rational adults, responsible for supervising teenagers will behave in a responsible and rational manner and will correct teenagers who try and apply teenage logic where it doesn't belong. As a hedge against silly, irrational behavior, the rule makers added NF: 1-1-6: "The Referee has authority to rule promptly, and in the spirit of good sportsmanship, on any situation not specifically covered in the rules. The referee's decisions are final in all matters pertaining to the game."
That rule gives a tremendous amount of authority to the referee, whose personal judgment about such matters is the only judgment that matters. It appears the rule makers have sufficient confidence in the judgment of those impartial arbiters assigned to implement the rules of the game to assign such power EXCLUSIVELY. The only remaining question is whether the assigned referees have the wisdom and courage to follow their instincts, and insist that what they believe appropriate is adhered to.
