People feel the need to do a lot of things that do not matter. It does not mean it is necessary. Again when I am the referee I never mention timeouts and some reason they tell us like they would otherwise. Just like people say, "White talks to white and black talks to black." Well I think that is not necessary but people say this often. It makes no difference to me what people say when they run their meeting. That is ultimately their business. I only do what I found works in my experience and saying that does not seem to make much of a difference said or not said.

Peace
