That is logical, thanks. What seemed strange to me is that an opponent provided an explanation of the agreements and therefore at least he is presumably "taking them to be" that way. But of course that may have been so only at the moment of the explanation.

If so then they will still have to come clean - sometime before the end of the clarification period IIRC.
No matter how well you know the laws, there is always something that you'll forget. That is why we have a book.
Get the facts. No matter what people say, get the facts from both sides BEFORE you make a ruling or leave the table.
Remember - just because a TD is called for one possible infraction, it does not mean that there are no others.
In a judgement case - always refer to other TDs and discuss the situation until they agree your decision is correct.
The hardest rulings are inevitably as a result of failure of being called at the correct time. ALWAYS penalize both sides if this happens.
