I did. Lengthy explanation and response under the Astral/Physical Debate
topic. I still haven't come across any rules that FAB conflicts.

Can someone please find and post one rule that FAB conflicts with or
contradicts? But it has to be an actual rule. Just one rule. That's all
I'm asking.

So far all I've heard is that someone else has a different definition for
"direct" and "indirect". The definitions I'm using for
"indirect",
"direct", and "effect" are from the Webster's II New Riverside
University
Dictionary. Indirect - not directly planned for: secondary. Direct - with
nothing intervening: immediate. Effect - something brought about by agent
or cause: result.

With the FABnet covering the astral being example. The direct effect is the
being's aura doesn't intersect the net's aura. The indirect effect of the
net's aura being held in place is the physical component of the net appears
to hang in the air. The astral being doesn't come into contact with the
actual physical net. There is no direct effect on the net from the being.
There is a direct effect on the net's aura.
