The rule sucks but I don't see a better alternative.
That's what refs are there for. We have endless discussions on all other infractions anyways so that nothing unusual. Everything else is grey.. heck even too many men in the ice which just involves counting players has a grey area of how close a player is to the bench and was he really in the playing area or not.
