No, what I'm saying is that "If you think you can do it better, then do so." That's not the same thing.
Yes, you have the written Hugo rules to go by. And you're ignoring most of them. You're taking a single sentence of a long document without reading the rest of the document. I'm angry because you can't see that it's not possible to write rules so that every sentence is completely self contained and impossible to misinterpret.
I'm trying to answer your questions, but you're so convinced of the Deep Dark Conspiracies that you're ignoring my answers.
I've spent more than twenty years working with WSFS, trying to refine the rules, and it frustrates me when someone comes in, finds one sentence he dislikes, ignores the rest of the document, and decides that everything is broken.
