Phat,
I GOT IT the first time. My points remain. When we are on the pitch, we don't have the luxury of being able to find out where it is DOCUMENTED. We have to REMEMBER it. The original reply told you where it was DOCUMENTED. In order to prevent the mistake by your partner from happening again, he or she must REMEMBER what is DOCUMENTED. Obviously you KNEW (and had already REMEMBERED) what is DOCUMENTED. Your partner had not.

Therefore, how to prevent the situation from happening again?
1. Remind referees that the penalty for this foul is very high -- make sure that the game needs this foul to be called to keep the game fair.
2. Remind referees of an easy way to remember the penalty for direct kick fouls vs. indirect kick fouls.

You continue to point out your narrow question/answer. I am merely expanding the thought process to decrease the likelihood that a similar scenario would unfold in a future contest. No more, no less.
