I agree on 1 and 2. The point was not to linger or initiate any dialog.

On 3, I disagree. I work in a variety of conferences some of which the coaches have tremendous influence over the assignors. I do not personally agree with allowing coaches that much power, but it is the way it is. If the tape backs you up, it is always easy for your supervisor to defend the call. If the tape does not, then becomes more difficult.
