I think ChatGPT did a pretty good job of summing up a confusing situation. My only quibble is that Ross Youngs was elected to the HOF in 1972 (before Joss) and had exactly 10 years of service time (although in one year he only played in seven games). So later committees couldn't "extend that exception" because he was already in. And there was no need for an exception anyway since he had 10 years of service.
