I don't see why that helps with being decisive. Default, to me, means this:

Every play will be a charge unless __________ happens.

This, of course, is true. But equally true is:

The play will be a block unless __________ happens.

Plays are frequently labeled as "one that could have gone either way." If this is true, some should indeed go each way. If you have a default, it seems that you would be falsely inclined to lean in one direction on a play that is that close.
