Warhammer 40k is a franchise that exists to sell expensive models and paints; to do this, they include convoluted rules that allows you to play with your dolls. 
The OP, /u/The_Black_Goodbye, is playing a subset of these dolls called Tau, an army notorious for its weebism, being anti-fun to play, and attracting the worst type of autists. It's poetry that a Tau player would try to abuse the rules so thoroughly. 
/u/The_Black_Goodbye, being a filthy tryhard and probably 0% fun to play against, asks the subreddit /r/warhammercompetitive if his unit can start to perform a Tau-specific action while off of the battlefield. The initial reaction is overwhelmingly no. /u/The_Black_Goodbye catches a lot of downvotes in the beginning - however, no one can actually point to where in the rulebook that it says a unit cannot perform actions while not on the battlefield. Meanwhile, /u/The_Black_Goodbye keeps proving that yes, he absolutely can do what he wants rules as written.
Eventually, the tides reverse and users begin to post in support of OP and upvote him, proving that autism, not feels prevail when it comes to reading rules. However, top comment remains
I asked the same question a few weeks ago, and there is technically no requirement for a unit to be on the battlefield in order to perform an action.
That said, if a Tau player tried to do this to me at a tournament I am calling a TO immediately because a unit that isn’t on the battlefield shouldn’t be able to perform an action.
Which gets a response from OP, where he says
While I don’t disagree I do feel it’s a unique interaction but most likely not intended...
Proving that even he knows that he's being an unloveable tryhard that's trying to put a cat on his football team 
. But he's correct, and that's all that matters.

a rule of law that isn't actually a rule and more of a "I unno, man, I feel like it" bullshit scenario is a one stop shop to a society that's run by teenage white women.

Rules and laws should be followed by their wording because the idea is that the wording will capture the context and intent. Granted that doesn’t happen every time, which is an issue, but putting context and intent before the actual written code is obviously going to get abused and manipulated by scummy lawyercels (who are already experts at manipulating the wording as it’s written).

Alright, we're going by context. The second amendment was phrased as it is because the founders wanted the military to solely be formed as a militia. By its context the Columbine shooters should have been allowed to buy rocket launchers and machine guns.

The alternative to letter of the law rulings is not spirit of the law, it's "spirit of whatever Authority wants". In America, SCOTUS declared that growing your own wheat to feed to your own animals constitutes "interstate commerce". Whoever gets to define the spirit of the law is king.

Roe was one of the most made-up spirit of the law rulings in history. "The Constitution guarantees a right to privacy despite never saying privacy, therefore you somehow have a right to abortion, but only up to a number of weeks that we admit is arbitrary."

He's not shooting anything though, he's performing an action whose wording doesn't require a unit to be on the table to begin.

Redditors will just respond to this thinking they have won. Classic response is: “oh you must have bad reading comprehension then, you can’t even take the time to understand my genius.”
Actual best response to what redditors say is no response, screenshot then make fun of them on rdrama. Or say things to make them more emotional and seething, which I guess is what this example is. I avoid Reddit at all cost.

You save a bunch of money and get some pretty cool shit, but have to put up with an awful smell and be super careful and meticulous when handling liquid resin and curing models.
