Blinder/Blocker clarification needed

[Lenny5160_v2]

I feel that the "clarification" to the blinder rule is way too vague:

The purpose of the rule change was due to incidents that have occurred in the pits, to reduce these incidents/concerns we were asked to prohibit the use of blinders in classes where we have experienced incidents in the pits due to the use of blinders. Discovery of blinders/staging aids could be cause for disqualification of run, regardless of whether infraction occurs during qualifying or eliminations; at the sole and absolute discretion of NHRA.

The rule prohibiting blinders explicitly states that an OEM sun visor is allowed to be in the car, but is it legal to use it as a 'blinder' or 'staging aid', whatever that means?

The sun was in my eyes so I put my legal visor down.

Our blinder has the factory vanity mirror so he was checking his teeth just to make sure his smile was pristine.
