Kojak and I have shared a similar problem with 
respect to 'irrational'. 
       In a game where language is often a term of
the art, or jargon as you might say, it is desirable 
to be as clear as possible about the meaning of
the language in which the rules are written. In 
drafting the next code of laws considerable 
attention has been given to this objective but,
despite much consultation, it would be rash in the 
extreme to suggest that there will be no problem 
of this category when it is activated.
