Wil: That is the most pedantic point I've ever heard. In that example you win the game either way, so a clarification of the rules in that situation is both irrelevant and silly.

I can't think of a bearing off example where it actually matters. Even with 2 left on 2 and 3 with an opponent blocking 1, and you roll 6-1. In this case you need to move 3-2, 2-off. But even if you move 3-off you are left in the same position, so who cares?
