The next time the situation happens it either has to follow the same decision, or (when wrong ) be a part of the new rules. Of coarse one would have to admit begin wrong for that to work. Nothing is learned from mistakes now. If the same situation arises, decisions are made depending on the mood of the TD (it seems), but even worse, I'm starting to think the name of the programs involved are also taken into consideration.
