New Rules.. touching the line of putt.. Impact on Aimpoint?

This shows how the rules are subject to interpretation

You are not allowed to pace a putt, but you can read it from the opposite side of the flag then as you walk past the pin count in your head...... It's only counting allowed that breaches the rules

OK, I'll bite

What makes you think you can't count the number of paces from the ball to the hole? (I'm assuming that's what you mean by pace a putt).

I'd suggest that 'subject to interpretation' is the wrong phrase. There should be no need or attempt to interpret the Rules themselves.Rather, they should be read absolutely literally - noting any Definitions that may differ from 'normal' use. But there are certainly Rules where a subjective view of the conditions relating to the Rule is required.

Er....Can you point out the applicable Rule that makes this a breach?
