If the number of points I have goes up, it doesn't increase the number 
of points I have? That's a curious way of looking at it. And, no 
offense, a completely ridiculous one.
The ruleset uses "gains points" and "increases score" interchangeably; 
and r154 defines that to be true. It's true that if you gain points, 
the number of points you have goes up; it's also true that if the 
number of points in your possession goes up, the number of points you 
have goes up.

So yes, it is the same, and yes, it is allowed.

No, by my logic we can move 'along the axes' as it were, not just at 
random to any point.

No, it means that you tried to use the hole I found to something more 
than that hole can do, namely setting your dimensions to a nonnumerical 
value, whereas I did it the right way and won.

Just because I found a way to change dimensions in some respects
