Default ALK debate redux

I know, it's been beat to death, but I want to put this to rest in my own mind once and for all. SCCA Solo rules, Section 18.1.E states: Suspension components are unrestricted as long as they use the original attachment points.

Now, since the ALK is a bolt-on part, why is it not considered a "suspension component" using "original attachment points"? I am having serious issues seeing how the control arm bolts to some other stuff and is a "component", but the bushing mount bolts to yet more other things and is not a "component." Scott, do you have some correspondence from the techies at SCCA about this? I can, of course, have the ALK off the car and the whiteline "ALK bushing" in its place in time to run in SM, but frankly I like the car the way it is suspension wise. No need to spend money and effort to make changes that *hopefully* don't actually change anything.
