dictionary.com has the following definition:

dictionary.com definition of rude said:

discourteous or impolite, especially in a deliberate way: a rude reply.

So I'm not alone in thinking rude is an antonym of courteous. Courtesy is more than tone of voice, or if you want to argue that it is only tone of voice, then it is not rude to accuse someone of cheating with a friendly voice (well, at least according to dictionary.com).
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

Pointing out that the player could have made their contract if they simply drew trumps could be a violation of 74A2, but whether it violates 74A1 depends on how you say it.

But it's true that there's quite a bit of overlap, and many objectionable actions would violate both.
