One more thing. All this speculation about which way the ball may bounce due to physics seems to also be based on the assumption that the surface on the side of the board is perfectly smooth. Is it? I'm thinking many times it is not, especially if there is a pad around the edge of the board. All the more reason to err on the side of a no call.
