I believe you actually reinforced my point. I was just trying to list things that get said - that are not ALWAYS true, even though they can be (depending on the way the official says it) presented as always true.
There are important things that happen away from the point of attack, and a new official that hears that nothing important happens there will be looking at the point of attack, maybe even when his coverage zone is somewhere else (like behind).
Point was using a general rule for specifics can be misleading.
