At game speed, my OBS arm went out.
Soo... if you're saying judgement enters into this, I don't have to beat myself up over it.
If it's black and white INT, then *head slap*.

The only judgment to be made is whether the runner could have avoided F6 or not. And it is not a guess. You need to be sure the runner did something to interfere before making that call.
