Precisely.
If a person does something that affects others or creates either an unfair advantage for themselves or a disadvantage for others, then there should be a rule in place which addresses those issues. But whether someone signs a scorecard in a tent, or twenty yards from the tent, is of no consequence to
anyone and is thus a:
STUPID RULE!.
You know, rules CAN be changed and in many cases have been. Take the Constitution of this country, for example. It began as a simple concept, but then various amendments were added to either clarify or specify particular situations, ideals or other concepts and that practice continues to this day.
So if the rules for the governance of a nation can be modified or amended, then modifying a rule about where one signs a scorecard for a game should be child's play.
