Let's just make sure we're all on the same page here. The fencing match had 1 second left, and all she had to do was not be scored on in 1 second. That's the rule. That's the protocol. More than one second passed. The match wasn't called. After that, she was scored on and lost. So, no, I'm not calling for any kind of anarchy for "what I think is common sense." The rules and protocols were not able to be maintained because the technology did not allow that to happen. So common sense has to be used in order to uphold the rules and protocols, otherwise you're sacrificing the intent of the rule because freak occurrence and outside influence happened to lead to it uphold the letter of the rule... and suddenly I feel like I'm in the Politics thread.
