Either way though...the vagueness of the ruling suggests to me that the ones at the race, regardless ofwho appointed them, where more then willing to pass the decision up to mom and dad to sort out.

You're right, normally a local added to the permanent pair but they're all FIA Stewards as a group, appointed by and representing the FIA.
The decision does seem quite vague and contradictory in many ways - not unusual for stewards to sit on the fence in matters of higher complexity or bigger stakes and it sounds like that may be what has happened here.
