Usually there is a process to just get a call right. You might get a call right and I might not believe you knew why you got it right and just guessed right.

Exactly right. Sometimes a blind squirrel finds a nut.

For me, I look at movement in the L position. If a person drops anchor there, I know he's not engaged. This is true as well for T/C, but for me it's easier to pick up with a lead.
