My point is that the tcr, or events like it, could not exist with drafting. It would not be safe, it wouldn't be fair and I don't even think it would be more exciting.
I think everyone has accepted the 'rules' point. I was addressing the other question raised which was are the rules arbitrary in not allowing drafting and could they ever be changed to allow it. I think the answer is no.

And? That's draft legal event.
If by some miracle I sat on skinny's wheel for the first two days, do you think that's fair for anyone behind me?
I don't get your point? You're saying that people could hold a wheel. I know, I'm saying that by doing so, even if they're not victorious because the stronger rider could drop them, they've saved a tonne of energy and got further up the road than if they were under their own power.
This is turning into a PC vs. Mac argument.
Shit, lets start a helmet debate while we're at it.
Don't draft if the rules say no drafting.
