I understand the logic behind your stance, but golf has always existed as the exception to the rule, and this is another reason why. To you, it's anachronistic and foolish; to me, it's part of what makes the game beautiful.
To further clarify:
In golf, you are supposed to police yourself. That means calling yourself out for breeches, and not relying on an incorrect interpretation of the rules to skirt by.
