Whether you agree or not, isn't it better to go by the GMs rules? I mean, it is his/her game to run and the rules are there for a reason. I mean, honestly, it's better just to acquiesce to small things like that to keep things smooth and civil. Repeatedly deliberately omitting it like that is kind of rude and can delay progress with getting things started. That was kind of not cool...

Have to agree with this kind gentlemen/lady. You may not agree with methods but rules are still rules and it is up to us to follow them. Your free to disagree with them and give your reason why, but they should still be followed.

I can understand this method of confirmation, I don't usually do it for my own roleplays but I can understand why. Many people just skim the rules, then turn around and ask questions that are already explained in the rules and opening.

Personally, I enjoy the method of confirmation having something to do with the roleplay, but still subtle.
