Intention

[RamTime]

I read this paragraph and the source is not what you would call solid by any stretch of the imagination so I was wondering about intention. and what you guys know about this if anything.

Specifically the part that reads: "it appears that the ref cannot take into consideration his intention"

Noone questioned whether Brady's arm was moving, we were all questioning his intention. However, it appears that the ref cannot take into consideration his intention. Kinda like in hockey where if the goalie shoots the puck out of the rink its automatically a penalty, and the ref is given no option to interpret what the goalie was trying to do.
