Yup. The "I ejected him but look how cute I'm being by not letting everyone know he's ejected" is some weird by-product of the "if the umpire's noticed, he's doing a bad job" line of nonsense. When I eject someone I don't have to spin like a top, but I *am* going to let everyone know I've ejected someone by giving an ejection mechanic.
