In fact, the rule change occurred in 1988 and was in place for one year until the player's union voted it down.
The rule was "complete and discernible balk," and the umpires called, as you indicated, twice as many balks.
But at my age, I cetainly wish 1988 was "about five years ago."

Carl, you did mean to say "complete and discernable stop," am I correct?

Well, now that I think about it....
