I know it's not what you said. What you said was obvious. I guess it comes about because I said to test with end devices. Router A is acting like an end device in your example. I should have been more clear. What is not obvious is that ACLs on Router B do not apply to pings to and from Router B. Every newbie has probably been bitten by that one, especially in simple labs.
