If you read my posts, you'd see that I said I am NOT calling it.

I'm only arguing that the reason it isn't called is not because the rule is unclear but is because it just isn't enforced...at all....for other reasons.

This is not unlike the infamous multiple foul. Everyone knows what it is and there is no lack of clarity in what is a multiple foul...but we just don't call it. By practice, not by rule, we pick one foul, call one foul, and penalize one foul. If two officials happen to call fouls on two different players, we don't report both, we get together and pick one.
