Not in the "general sense" (I get the general guidelines, out of bounds versus "everything" else), but with specific "weird" situations that involve some "decision making", such as the recent post by Nevadaref (4.12.2 SITUATION C) where even the NFHS was wrong and it took two days for only Nevadaref to spot the mistake, while the rest of us (including me) just "let it slide".

Before the eight spots we made "decisions based on a feel of where the ball should go", as was so elegently stated by JRutledge.

The "feel" was really simple, the closest spot.

Nevermore.
Literally, now a clear line of demarcation is very simple to get. Never said it was impossible not to make a mistake or to have some confusion. But that is no different than before in many cases.

Peace
