That's just about what I thought you meant. You can certainly "be aware" of the consequences of a call. At no point though, are you ever going to "consider" those consequences" before making that call.

You are never going to "consider" making any other call than your originally intended call.

That was my only real point....and I think that you got it. And I think that I now get your point also. and I agree with it too (fwiw).
