Reaping the knee

This seriously needs to be a part of the FAQ's if it's not already.

It's a lame rule IMO. I am okay with not allowing heelhooks, but why disallow the proper leg position for leglocks? Why must we all learn to do leglocks wrong? I don't believe reaping is dangerous enough to justify it. I agree that it's BJJ bias against leglocks. Which is akin to judo's bias against takedowns.
