I'm with you there. You know, I find it curious how people like to follow every rule, even when the rule is flawed. In butterfly, if your arms aren't all the way out of the water you'll swim slower. There is no reasonable advantage to an alternative stroke pattern due to restrictions in range of motion, or limitations in age. Therefore, this rule should be grandfathered.
Except that that defination is wrong. It is any part of the arm, which is defined as from slightly below the shoulder to the wrist.
