I agree. But when my partner doesn't come in from B like he's supposed to under the mechanics I mentioned (FED and ASA), then how the heck am I supposed to know whether or not he's taking the play but just forgot to verbalize? The last thing we need is for me to call "OUT!" while he's giving a Safe signal.
