Obviously not. But I thought it was also obviously not the type of play we're talking about.
That was my point. You can't use a "one-size- fits-all" criteria to define your "run of the mill" and "token swipe" calls. Every call is different. If you could, it would sure make our job out there a helluva lot easier. There's just too many variables involved to make the very specific statements that Regis made- especially when those statements were made without a basic understanding of the actual rule and the reason for it's implementation.
