I would like to hear your unbiased thoughts? If you reference one rule, you have to take the second in consideration too.

I don't disagree that there is gray area with the law. It comes down to the intent of the law vs. the letter of the law. Although the letter of the law may contradict itself through the definition of take, the contradiction goes completely against the intent of the law. Do you have an argument? Yes. Will a game warden on the water hear you out on that argument? Probably not. But, I see your point.
