Getting different answers to the same question from the AMA is a long-standing problem.
Granted the clarity of the rule in the AMA rulebook, one wonders if those people you talked to have actually read the rulebook themselves?
It's been a long time, and I don't know if he's in charge anymore, but I asked Scott Campbell once or twice about the notion of allowing AMA pro hillclimbers to compete at the amateur nationals in the past and his position was that they can't do that. Looking at the AMA pro website, and the AMA pro hillclimb rulebook, I don't actually see any mention of who's in charge there currently...if it's still Scott, maybe he changed his mind. But even if he did, they'd have to change that rule in the amateur rulebook too...
