Sounds good, as long as you don't use it, as you've already stated, as a some type of quasi definition.
Kind of like a simple litmus test?
By the way, I would not grant a request for a timeout while the ball is being tapped (batted), even if it was a controlled tap (bat), during a jump ball.
Guess the litmus paper turned red in this situation? (Thanks to Scrapper1 for the jump ball analogy.)
