I want my crew calling this every time.

The reason I said "by rule" because that is the rule as it was described. Of course we are not calling the game on a discussion board or reading a few words. It is possible the description is not as clear as the actual play. And when I am not sure a rule has been violated, I likely do not go around calling a foul based on something I am unsure about.
