The judgment is even more complex: not only would the runner need to realize that the tackle was a HCT, and to perceive a flag, but he would need to know that that flag was for THAT foul (and not for a hold on his guys). THEN fumbling on purpose could make sense.

Teaching all that is not tactically sound.
