What I am saying is they called a technical on the bench, which often does not come with a number or you have to clarify who that person is. I will and seen others point to the bench just like we point to the bench on a warning we give because of the actions of someone on the bench. You tend to find these things no one is talking about, so what is why I was confused about what you were addressing. The mask probably has nothing to do with it but making it clear that is who is getting the T.
