About a 50-50 split over there on the call being correct or not.

Count again... I don't see 50-50 at all. And if you weight it a little more heavily for those posters we know not to be idiots, and less for those we know to be trolls, it's even heavier in favor of it being the right call. I'd say there might be close to 50% who say that THEY would not have called it, but at least after the initial flurry, once the rule was brought into the discussion, most are saying it's the right call, whether or not they would have called it.
Personally, I'd have called it. But I also would not have faulted any partner for not calling it.
