This isn't to say that I don't forget. If I do remember I have a 100% success rate, so I will go up to the table and say, "Didn't we just give ball to blue 6 minutes ago." If they respond with I'm right then I'll switch it, if not then it's theirs. Keep in mind this is only if I'm sure and I have a great relationship with tables.

I see where you're both coming from, it's just in some scenarios I think it's a good idea. In Rut's case, yes, if an official forgets it even once then I don't think the idea works for them. At higher level ball it does look tacky.
