While I understand what you are trying to say, please cite properly! I have not written "According to my (Western) understanding of the matter". To say that what I have written was according to my (Western) understanding of the matter, you might write that [citation or indirect speech of my writing] was, in your opinion, according to my (Western) understanding of the matter.
You might have overlooked the "proper" citation of yours that started my posting ...
The text in quotation marks is my best guess of what you should have written.

Nihon Kiin:
"Our rules are supposed to apply to professional play under the responsibility of the Nihon Kiin and the Kansai Kiin. The players are supposed to operate these rules in the spitit of good sense and mutual trust."
In these rules, you will not find anything about "each legal position".
While tournament rules can be written specifically for a particular organisation, such as the Nihon Kiin, rules of play should be written for everybody (in this case, wishing to apply Japanese-style rules) because the game is for everybody.
The text in quotation marks is my best guess of the Nihon Kiin's intention of creating their 1989 Rules.
I am very sure that you already know that the Nihon Kiin 1989 Rules are NO tournament rules. These do not mention anything about "tournaments".

A central purpose of rules of play is to always specify what is legal play. Failing to do so is a major flaw of a ruleset. Especially one for tournament play.
I am very sure that you already know which tyes of moves are NOT allowed / forbidden by the Nihon Kiin 1989 Rules. This implies that every other type of move is legal.
As I already stated above, these rules do NOT specify anything about "tournaments".
Quote:
Thereby, plain application of the rules of play always enables a spirit of good sense and mutual trust without any problem of having to interpret what the latter might mean other than application of the rules of play.
Again, this is YOUR opinion.
But it does not match the Nihon Kiin 1989 Rules.
These rules have it the other way round. "A spirit of good sense and mutual trust" is considered an absolutly necessary precondition for the desired application of the rules.
Nowhere is stated that easing that application was one of the aims for creating that ruleset.
