A section of the rules is not a block of text because the rules don't say it
is a block of text. Rules are Game Documents. Rules may be contained in
Sections. Game Documents aren't even defined. The various rules in a section
cannot be strung together end on end because there is no ordering of these
Rules defined by the Rules. A materialized view of the Ruleset doesn't imply
there is an order or that the rules set is now one huge block of text.

I'm now confused as to the motive of the proposal that enacted this change.
Were you trying to intentionally break the game?
