In other words, I really couldn't care less what a setter "knows" he/she is doing, I base my call on what I see.
Thanks, for confirming that I was only scrutinizing myself from both perspectives. I don't have that soft touch that exceptional setters do, so I would have to compensate for it somehow. It dawned upon me that I could essentially set with extremely fast hand speed utilizing a catch/lift/throw technique. Fundamentally accentuating clean contact techniques for my setting. I know for sure the fine line when I utilized a catch/lift/throw with somewhat of prolong contact, which isn't so obvious when executed with extremely fast hand speed. So bottom line is I know whenever I pull a set non-perpendicular to the line of my shoulders, it's a throw, although executed cleanly.

It's a good thing I don't ref against myself, heh, heh, heh. That's my ref/setter deal.
