Every game? Really?

I've even seen plays where an official jokingly says aloud "pick one." Just like Rule 4-24 Article 7 happens EVERY game and is not enforced based on letter of rule. (I sense another topic coming)

Art 7. It is not legal to use the hand and/or forearm to prevent an opponent from attacking the ball during a dribble or when throwing for goal.
Opinion or do you have some statistical evidence to back this up? In 30 years of officiating 50-55 games/year only saw it once.
