They're very good at straightening it out. Very very good.

Not hypocritical at all actually lands I. Front creates 0 confusion. Whereas tapping 45 degree tapping creates the "oh that wasn't tapped" confusion
Actually, it is hypocritical because confusing the board state was the same argument made. Even if the board state doesn't seem confusing to you with lands in front doesn't mean it isn't for your opponent. Maybe 45 degree tap isn't confusing for the player doing it, just like lands in front isn't for you, but the opponent can find it very confusing.

Same argument, different situation. You have to realize that the game isn't played just for you. Making things harder for your opponent to understand and see is trying to create unfair advantages (even if you don't realize it) and should be in the same line as cheating.

On another note, 45 degree tap is soooo sketch. I have always found it lazy and at my old lgs we had a guy that did it so he could cheat without anyone noticing.
