Maybe I'm missing something (in other words, I'm having another "senior moment"), but didn't the original post address the trail mirroring the lead, not the other way around?

I have found that if the lead makes the signal on a 3 below the free throw line (correctly) and the trail doesn't mirror it, the chances of the table not knowing it was a 3 are about 1 in 2 and the chances of the table at least asking about it are at least 1 in 4. I always mirror if I am trail, but never mirror if I am lead.
I'm sure you're correct. The post that I went back and found was about three pages long. I tried to dig it the correct answer but it got pretty silly. Thankfully, I don't have to worry about this since I don't work 2 man!

I've deleted the post so as to know create an confusion.
