Hmm - I'm a nit for pointing out the correct options? Well, I was actually a competition sec. for my club for a while, so I have had to read the rules book a few times. Maybe that has made me a nit in your eyes!
One of the things I found out doing that job was that people who had made a mistake about rulings would say to me that so-and-so had told him the ruling and so that must have been correct.
This happens all of the time when someone passes on their interpretation of the rules, and it becomes the golf equivalent of chinese whispers.
Why people can't just look it up in a rule book is beyond me - they are free over here too.
I'm not a great Spieth fan, but at least he seems to know his way around a rule book - bloody pro nit!!!!
