Wow, this created a load of responses in quick order, didn't it?
Okay, I'll come clean.
I am aware of the casebook play raised by WMB. Even though we are no longer suppose to cite interps by "Henry says", that is basically where I got this from a couple of years ago.
Purpose wasn't to cheat people of runs or make every player run out every play, though they should anyway.
It came down to giving the defense the option of which out to take.
