They tried and failed, see my commentaries.
or is it actually a flaw in them as written? it sounded as though you were saying that the flaw was in the lack of definition of "two-eyes," not in the lack of definition for life.
The flaw is in teaching the players as readers of the J1989 rules badly, especially while not knowing yet of Chris Dams's later proof.
