They aren't. Read my response to nfotiu as to why. If you disagree, trying doing this in a sanctioned event and see how far you get. You're going to get called on it and you're going to suffer the same fate as the player in question. It's why the latest rules revisions pretty much all focused on intent, removing all the nit-picky stuff and focusing on intent of stroke. Make the player responsible for observing and maintaining the spirit of the rules while removing the stuff that bites players in the ass when they have no intent or control (double hits, striking a ball in motion caused by the environment, etc.). This is to establish or clarify intent of the player and make the enforcement of the rules from that decision that much easier.
