The key is that you have to be able to intelligently and properly articulate why it was a balk once you call it.
Nope and nope.

If it's "odd" I do ask, "Was that legal or not?" but that's not the same as trying to determine "why, indeed, it is a balk."

And, I know how to articulate it BEFORE I call it.
