"Knowledge has no value unless it's used, or shared". In a general sense, our function is to apply (what we hope) is a better understanding of the rules of the game consistently. With penalty options, that includes accurately presenting the options to those making decisions.
In most situations, that's a pretty straightforward choice, but in some situations, details of some particulars of the options can have a material effect on the decision, and it's our job to insure those particulars are conveyed and understood by the decision makers.
Their job is to select the proper option, after having been given ALL the pertinent facts about their options. In high pressure, or high emotion, situations it's our function to calmly present any and all pertinent details, to assist the decision maker's choice.
