Now take a different situation. Tie game, 4 minutes left, B1 tries his goofy defensive kick and A1 blows by B1 for lay-up. It is the only time you have ever seen this. Is it possible that you blinked and missed that attempted kick, and would only notice a recuurence of that action

The only reason one kick requires a different response is because the rules have been mentally modified. If we twist here, then we hafta tweak there. Where may it end?
Can I miss that call? Only if it's in my partners area. I understand what you're saying, but for me, this is a no brainer (
Of course, that's my modus operandi).
Sitch : Tie game, 4 minutes left A1 passes to A2 but the ball gets kicked in the air to A2 for an uncontested dunk.
We all have that kick, though the result is the same as bossref's original case.
You can defend this no-call all you want, but in the end you still demand consistency. ...A kick every time, not just sometime.
