[CQ-Contest] Precise or Clear?

[Ward Silver]

>> Published rules should be
>> accurate and complete.

When asked "What is complementary to truth?" the eminent physicist Neils 
Bohr replied, "Clarity." Read any User's Agreements lately?

It is very difficult to write simple rules that accomplish the goal of 
getting a diverse readership to have a reasonably similar understanding 
thereof.  I agree that most sets of rules could use a good refinishing, 
ARRL's included.  Believe me, I see some weely, weely skwewy wules as 
Contest Corral editor...    But - precision is often the enemy of 
comprehension.
