gee whiz Mark is getting beat up on here. His point seems awfully simple and -- gasp -- common-sensical: interpreters have decided to MANDATE a call that is impossible to be the RIGHT call in an objective sense -- i.e. an all-knowing, all-seeing ref would NEVER call a blarge. It's nothing more than a concession that someone missed the call and a refusal to permit (or require) one official to defer to another. (Yeah, we can all concoct situations where there could be a PC and a block at the same time, but that doesn't make the issue go away -- the real issue, the common issue, is the simultaneous block call where the two officials disagree if the defender got there in time.)

What a silly discussion, and why am I responding . . .
