Relax, it is an opinion. I do not expect everyone to agree. I feel it is running away (always have btw) when you call the foul you want another official to answer for your actions. Of course it can be a tool, but not a very good one. The reason this change was made in the first place is because officials would always run in the other direction when there was a conflict. The mechanic helped with this. I do not give a damn if a coach does not like my call. I just know I am the better person to tell the coach what happen when I make such a critical call. Not a partner that did not see the play or might not be sure of what actually happen.
Peace
