plugged ball in the rough

there aren't many situations where I feel the rules are 'wrong'; but this is one.

to argue that a local rule should be in place if conditions are such that a player may find his ball embedded is 100% consistent with providing relief TTG under 25-2!

put another way, finding a ball embedded proves that the LR should be in place etc

all of which suggests that there must be another reason for not widening 25-2 to TTG - or the Rules need changing.
