A fair point.

So ... who here went this year - did they actually teach this? It hasn't yet filtered down to anything I've attended ... but I'm not TOO old a dog to learn new tricks though.

Personally, I think the Eddings Debacle was more along the lines of his ambiguous signal - his actual signal didn't look like what he'd been using earlier. And also personally, I think "He's Out!" works just fine in borderline sitches like this.
