It never crossed my mind to whack 'em in that situation. I guess that falls into the "kill the loser with kindness" category...

We all do things like this, I think. I consider something like this to be a compromise, probably a good one under the circumstances, but at the same time this is not remotely supported by any rule that I can think of, so others may not like the call.
