Conno and Ki have very mild autism and are very, very strict with the lettter oof the law... so if the composting card says "it's ok to look at the bottom card first" They will insist we do EXACTLY as the rule says... which states 'card' as a singular. Actually, I was afraid they would have trouble with the game because of the changing rules, but they really like it. I guess because even though the rules change, but there is always a written new rule. When they were done playing the had to sort and count the different types of cards.
 
I think everyone is happy now, thanks.

There is no rule that you can't look thru the discard pile - but then
again, no rule that specifically says you *can*.

The standard way I've seen it played is that people can go through the
discard pile whenever they want - as long as they don't mix up the
order of the discard pile.  This last part has only become important
when "order of the discard pile" matters - as when the New Rule
"Composting" hits the table.

What this does is allow everyone to be on even footing - if someone
has a good enough memory, they *can* remember what cards are in the
discard pile.  However, my memory ain't that good - so allowing anyone
to look thru the discard pile is a gentler way to play.

but having the "Mom Rule" works too!
