I'm going to clarify a little, and if you want to call it backtracking, I guess I can't blame you. I would never intentionally pass on BNR's scenario in my primary. Your comment about "regardless of where he is" made me re-think position on the floor. I might not call this if it were directly in front of my partner.

I think BNR's partners did him a disservice by suggesting that he ignore it. JMO.
