To me, somebody who systematically tests out to the last millimeter what he could get away with without beeing called foul, is as dubious and suspicious as someone who already has been found intentionally violating the rules.

If you need to use microscopes and dividers to measure whether the dot over the "i" indeed is as round as it should be, and use curve rulers to determine whether the curves in the §-symbol indeed are nicely rounded and fit the legally demanded shape for the §-symbol to indeed qualify it for a §-symbol - then you defend a most likely lost case and should worry about maybe already looking dubious yourself.

Convincing clarity is somethign very different.

What these guys are doing is trying to find ways to break the rules without breaking the rules so obviously that they must fear countermeasures.
