Obviously you disagree with what the rules should be and where the line should be drawn but you simply don't seem to appreciate how intentional the choice to keep these hits legal has been to date.

I think you're just struggling to understand what "the spirit" of the rule is. I understand where the line was drawn, I understand it was intentional, and it's clear that line which was intentionally drawn goes against the spirit of why the rule was created in the first place.

The league is already soft as butter and I don't want to see hits to the head but we might as well just play 3 on 3 if this is what we're talking about.

If these hits barely exist anymore then I'm not sure how making them penalties would materially change your viewing experience.
There's no need for dramatic hyperbole.
