You have no corner, you are making up a take on Paul's post, you are a simple contrarian, for the sake of sating your need for attention.
The rule is simple and enforceable.
The rule is extremely misguided and does not achieve what it is trying to achieve. You have dozens of players taking the same amount of time and not getting called for penalties on it at every event. You have cards out of position where the issue never even gets raised. And you have players who can use it to throw other players off their game. If violations of this rule were actually enforced evenly, you would have dozens of Nikko type outburst on the tour over it. To fix it you have to put a limit to how long the warning is to last. I think the PGA Tour's two hole limit is reasonable. I also think that if a player puts another player on the clock they should be required to time them every throw or else the warning gets lifted. None of this warn them on #2 or so and then call a penalty on #17 even though that was the first time they timed the player again. It is just too easy for players to mess with other players under this rule so it needs refinement to make it fair. All in my honest opinion.
