I agree with the rest of what you said. The issue here though is postmarking isn't standard practice anymore due to dot matrix codes on the stamps, or so I understand. So the ruling orders that the presumption is they were sent on time if received by a few days later, regardless of postmarking or not. This is one of those cases where improved technology actually makes it more difficult to track this type of issue.
