I prefer the following:
Step 1:
Read the rules
Step 2:
Mis-interpret the rules to your own advantage
Step 3:
Complain when some pulls you up on it and engage in some debate quoting non-gaming sources and be pendantic over language usage being
Step 4:
Move argument base rapidly to avoid any counter arguments
Close, but I think it's more like:
Step 1:
Presume that everyone else is misinterpreting the rules to gain an advantage.
Step 2:
Glance the rules, picking out words more or less at random and presenting them as though they were an argument.
Step 3:
Keep repeating that jumble over and over again as if that would make the argument stronger.
Step 4:
Switch to name calling (dirty win-at-all-costs powergamer seems to be a favorite).
Step 5:
Get thread locked.
That's sounds pretty straight forward, here let me try!
Step 1:

READ THE RULES!
"...all models"
Step 2:
READ THE FAQs
Yep, nothing in the FAQ's stating that it should be different.
Step 3:
...
Step 4:
Profit!
Yeah! it should work like this! All models!
Step 5:
Everyone Else
Yeah when they say "all models" they mean only your models.
Step 6:
/sigh
Well that didn't work.
You know, I think that this is the shortest rules interpretation thread with either Bean or Tynskel in it that I've ever seen.
Amusingly enough, it's still getting responses.
Step 1:
read the codex and specific rule
Step 2:
Read the FAQ and apply logic to both
Step 3:
Point out flaws in the other participants' line of thinking.
Step 4:
realize said participant is intentionally misunderstanding/misinterpreting your argument and/or rules, and is pulling stuff out of nowhere, leading to a stagnated argument. Leave thread.
You left out Step 5:
Wait til GW posts a FAQ completely vindicating your point, then return to the thread and loudly post about how you were right all along: [url]http://www.lounge.belloflostsouls.net/showthread.php?22876-Special-Power-quot-axes-quot/page20[/url]
Oh yeah, threadomancy powers activate!
