Actually they say that for all intents and purposes a unit that has deep struck counts as having moved. Not that it ever did so. You're adding rules because you want them to be there.

As for specified assurance equating to required permission... Well you're just wrong on that one. Those rules were all there to clarify the fact that you were allowed to do it in order to clear the air for argumentative internet people like yourself. They didn't do it because it was explicitly against the rules, they did it in order to avoid confusion. Now that we have a much more concise and relaible set of rules concerning post combat movement and resolution they feel that those assurences are no longer required. Keep in mind skyleap and 'ere we go were both released during fourth edition, not fifth. They still had to conform to within that ruleset, as well as be freely capable of functioning in fifth. That means providing extra assurances, to stave off the ravenous rules complicator called updating editions.

Unfortunatly there will always be some guy that just wants it to be played the way he wants it to be played.

Shumagorath:

Except that it isn't over-complicated, or even complicated.

1. The Gate of Infinity does not say that it can be used to leave combat.

2. If we assume that the permission is implicit or not required, then using it to leave combat contradicts the rules for Deep Strike and combat.

3. The Gate of Infinity does not address what happens if the unit leaves combat.

If you call trying to explain and clarify trolling, well, I don't know what to say to that.

I'm getting a lot of alerts about this thread so I'm going to lock it to let everyone cool off.
