The dilemma is between what we actually care about, versus what we can 
easily measure.

We care about attendance.  (Well, actually, we care about participation.)

The closest mechanical measure of this is registration.  If we try for 
anything closer, we won't be able to administer the mechanism of using it.

So if we pay attention to ease of administration, the rule must be stated 
as thoroughly unambiguous.  Hence the modification that Marshall is suggesting.
