First of all, having considered the matter, I question the wisdom of splicing a specific example, spoken intentions, into the much broader concept of an intentional foul. Be that as it may, it was so written, so that year I suppose one had to strongly consider that an automatic call. But I, like many others, did not take the test that year, have never seen the 00-01 rulebook, had never heard of this until this thread. I find no reference to this in current rules. Is a small specific point such as this expected to remain alive based on one year of mention in a POE? If some agreed with this and choose to continue to interpret a foul this way, I respect that, but I think the option of ignoring the comments of players on their intentions is also an option. JMHO
