Law 12 is not about quick taps. It's very specific about its definitions and application.

And also, let's be fair , I did say in my answer

So for me (and this one is clearly my opinion, not an official answer, as it is not supported by Law, indeed I am advocating that we ignore Law 20.9 . ) I am going to follow convention and play on

Not sure you have fully concentrated on this one Marc ?
