I'm afraid you're going to have to take mine and their word for it.

Benny, I
do take your word for it, but I still see you touching the wall and grabbing the edge before clearing your face from water very clearly. And as I told, I admit I may be wrong. And I also explain that the subjective opinion, and the space for it the rule creates, is the very problem of it. The rule creates more space for subjective judgements and injustice, than it compensates for unequal conditions. And that's my point - I do not want to discuss or doubt your performence. I could not care less if you really grabbed the edge before or after. For me it is very valid regardless if I see well or not. What I am attacking is not you performance, but the rule that I consider very damaging the sport and allowing for manipulation of results and speculations.
