Agreed, ksr, although I'm not thrilled with discussing every subjective rule in pre-game. There are always those who seem to apply a rule just to prove they have heard of it, instead of understanding it. In this case, the spirit of the rule(minimizing time-wasting) is more important than the literal wording. This is like the constant cry of "handball" from the fans, even though the ball was a point blank rocket from behind the player.
