The rule you quoted specifies "to deceive..."
If I'm going to flag someone based on that rule, I have to be able to tell it was an attempt to deceive. In order for that to happen, there's going to have to be some actual deception. Or at least a decent chance of deception.
There's neither here. No one was deceived. No one could have been deceived. The player made it close enough to the 9s that you really can't tell if he made it or not.
So, I see neither an attempt to deceive, nor even a technical breaking of the rules. What's the call again?
