I do not think applying any more common sense (and we are really getting into an intellectual argument now) will change the fact that whether it be a program, a rock or tape, using them is against the rules. Judges apply common sense to laws for the sake of justice. If we were to apply common sense in this case it would favor staff's position, not yours.
Here is an example:
A man is before a judge for killing another man. The man pleads with the judge that the dead man was mortally wounded and he was just putting him out of his misery. Should the judge be lenient on him, maybe, except when you add one more fact (which makes this analogy similar to the issue of AFK fishing) the dead man was mortally wounded by the man that now stands before the judge. The man on trial was caught during a bank robbery and he shot the dead man. He is arguing that it was ok because the dead man was already shot.
It may be as simple as a piece of tape. However, using something so simple does not mean that by saying "you can't use a piece of tape" means a lack of common sense. Just because it is clever and simple doesn't mean that the act of taking it away or prohibiting is acting without common sense, just the opposite.
Just my to cents. In an effort to avoid a flame war I will recuse myself from further conversation in this thread and reply to any conversations directed toward me through the game or PM.

This rule is no exception.
