I might have thicker than usual brain fog today, but I don't get what are they talking about. Where do you point with that "extended arm, open, hand” so it is not "leading"?

I guess I am "leading" when my R1 gives me the stare in the above situation. Have been asked several times to do so during a prematch discussion too. If I have time, I might only step to the side at fault, but if that's not enough and the stare stays - I'll still "lead".
In this context, "leading the result" means awarding the point. The R2 should never be the first one to award a point in a rally.

You can offer up information, and if your partner has deer in the headlights, you should be less than subtle when you are clearly being asked for information. I do not believe that's what "leading" means here, so much as taking charge on providing helpful information.
