Ah, I see. After the incident when asked them for a ruling on a card that had inconsistencies with a similar card they had used to give me their ruling, they contacted the Japanese Dev team to see what was going on, and why the text had changed, yet the ruling was the same.

It took around two weeks, but after consulting the Dev team, they had found out that the Dev team was beginning to use different wording on cards.

When I spot something that I don't see as 'typical', I try my best to get not only the ruling, but any info on the wording and why things may change for the future. This person has a running dialogue with me and was the one to give me the New Term about Play Timing's while being clear that their Detailed Rules can be misleading because of the language they use. When I've taught people using that New Term, the light switches on and the ambiguity in the Detailed Rules for that section goes away.

So, I can not only show them what you have shown me about Lance Dragon, but since we have a history that includes the text changing and sometimes needing to check with the Dev team, I then have confidence that if something has changed since then, I will find out about it. I like having a record, when possible, of their answers, as they have proven valuable time and again.

When I have a quote from someone very astute at rules like you, it makes it much easier to get a specific answer from them not only confirming the ruling, but this person is exceptional and going step by step as to why the ruling is a certain way.

On something like this, I try to get them on the record.
