I never thought we would use this mechanic for such a long time.

Do your evaluators also insist that you put a different color ring on your fingers to keep track of the team fouls?
I can't see why not, that's logically the same as what they are making you do with the AP arrow. Why would they trust the table on one issue and not on another?
