Nice rant, Woodchuck, but what thread did YOU read?
Please provide the quote from the responder who claimed "no advantage" as a reason to not call this.
I saw "minor" infraction (which is a valid argument, since the penalty is major). This aligns with the notion that you must see the out to call it.
I saw questioning that such a small leap would not be seen without crouching down.
I saw questioning on whether this was technically a crow hop v. other IP (such as leap) and whether or not that even mattered (i.e. just call the IP).
But I just went back and scanned the entire thread again, and didn't see "no advantage." Maybe I missed it, though... so please show me. (BTW, I agree with the point of your rant - "no advantage" drives me crazy!)
