Agreed, on all counts.

Adding a slight wrinkle to the discussion: at what point should an appeal be launched? I was rather surprised that Dinerstein resigned, and then launched an appeal. My natural inclination would be to ask the referee to adjourn the game until the appeal could be heard.

I feel like I'm playing devil's advocate suddenly, but it could always be argued that he resigned simple because that was now likely to be the end result and he didn't want to hold up the entire tournament for the appeal to take place - we don't even have the precise nature of the appeal to hand do we?

Even in a court you can't be sure that the judge is able to remember the law. Get a good lawyer.

That's because the law usually involves a good deal more rules than go does. If the rules are too complicated for any person to memorize prior to refereeing a game, then they're too complicated for players to use.
