I agree 100% with you. How we as educated professional pilots interpret the FAA's lawyer jargon and how the FAA's lawyers and Chief Counsel will interpret these rules are usually two different things.
I think it's funny too. The FAA tries to write these rules to be "all encompassing" and "devoid of ambiguity" but 1/2 the time, it's full of gray areas and little tiny loop holes in the verbiage.
The FAA should publish a book called "The Making of and interpretation of the FARs" where they layout EXACTLY what intension they had when writing a FAR a certain way. That way, there would be no ambiguity at all lol. Of course a new book would need to come out every other week probably but I'd still read it lol
