Do you really believe that the players are going to put that much thought into this for something that MIGHT happen and "It's one of those that is so quick you could blink and miss it" situations.
I will agree with Brett's techincal analysis about the rules but, are we over-analysing this a wee bit. I think Bob's explanation was deep enough. JMO
