I know. In fact my first post in this thread was as follows.

"Yeah there is a magical 0.5 sec window when your oppenent attacks in which you are supposed to use the counter spell. It would make logical sense for it to be able to act as a redirect, however that is not the logic of card games. Honestly stopping to ask my opponent if he is going to counter an attack before I declare a target slows down gameplay in a game that is meant to be fast paced."

I am aware and acknowledge that Starfall night and similar cards do not act as a redirect. I don't agree with it and never will, as I feel it breaks logic. None the less I do abide by it as confusing as it sometimes is. I guess what I am upset about is:

"Counter" (対抗カウンター Kauntā) is a Keyword which, when attached to a card or ability, allows you to activate it during either player's turn on any phase, and in response to opponent's cards and abilities as well.

The in response to opponent's cards and abilitiesis made less true by rulings such as this.
