I didn't insist they give me the answer I want, the end results were clear. I got 'No' to pretty much all of the stuff I wanted to do.

But with the stuff where he allegedly got it wrong, and then later changed his mind in agreement with your stance, that technically didn't come from GW, certainly not from some official GW stance.

And if you do consider that the guy you spoke with got it wrong at times and therefore is capable of getting it wrong and doesn't sound very knowledgeable about the rules (since you had to site more rules to him), then how do we know if any of the other clarifications that came from him aren't wrong too?

I think what we're saying here is that the Rule Boyz can't be relied on to give the right answers, and therefore their answers won't carry any absolute, universal weight, compared to an official FAQ. I'm also iffy about the fact that some of those answers can't be considered Rule Boyz answers, since they were changed after some discussion where you disagreed with their original answers. Not saying that those answers listed are wrong, they may be perfectly right but because of their source and the circustances in which they were obtained, they still don't have an official GW "stamp of approval". As a general guide on the perspectives used to intepret those rules, they're great, but I think anyone who chooses to reference these answers need to be aware that they're not dealing with an official decision.
