Given that binoculars were invented nearly 200 years ago (1825), it would be stretching the definition quite a bit.

Right! Even then I don’t think they would have ever been described as “technology “

The Phillies were busted using binoculars back in 2011 so there is precedent but not sure there is an actual rule that addresses the use of binoculars in stealing signs . At the very least it is incredibly stupid if true .

Yes but no one would call the wheel "technology" in 2022, was the point. Seems to me the rule is in place to prevent more "sophisticated" methods of sign stealing, but I guess that's open to interpretation.

Either way, if your signs can be stolen by mere binoculars, then I would make the argument that your signs should be harder to steal than that. And I would be saying that even if it was us accusing another team of doing it.

I would say your argument is pathetic and if they did this the good deed should not go unpunished.
