And that's not correct.

In your other thread you stated correctly that if the rule book had the same language as the comic book, IHC might be called more. That's true, since the comic book does not use the correct definition of IHC, and the one it uses is more expansive.

Since the rule book is the controlling text, it's false to claim that "most IHCs don't get called." Aside from this being an empirical claim for which you have no evidence beyond your own experience, you are basing it on the wrong definition of IHC.
