You can very well argue it this way - there is a lot hinged on that "could" term - which leaves a lot of arguement.



First off - there are humans that reach 7 feet tall - however it is not the norm and most humans are not expected to reach 7 feet even tho some can. It would be most logical to assume a "normal" top size would be the basis for evaluation ie the average full grown adult ball is about 4 1/2 - 5 feet - therefore you could expect most balls to reach 4 1/2 - 5 feet in length and they would be legal to keep and breed.



Also if you have adults in your collection that are maxed out at 4 1/2 - 5 feet then there is no reasonable expectation of them to reach 6 feet - therefore completely legal and again able to continue breeding.



I guess we will all have to change those care sheets to say balls top out at 5 feet.
