Yes, there are some different rules for the different kind of kick plays. But that was my point- Once you factor in different rules on this, and then different rules on other plays, you end up with a league where people don't understand what is going on, and when people don't understand they won't watch it.
And I bring up the NFL because it is very popular here in Canada. I know many people who follow the NFL exclusively; and these are the types of people who might become fans if they watch a few enjoyable games.
All I'm saying is the "point for the missed field goal" camp often consists of people who don't appreciate the aspects of the Canadian game. Then those people go on about it, and we get people who are CFL fans agreeing with those people. (And of course I think the people in this thread are in the latter group- I know a few times my life as a CFL fan would be easier if there was no single point.)
