Appropriately questioning a WH produces only 2 possibilities, both of which are entirely favorable; It provides the WH with an opportunity to clarify a point of possible confusion for a crew member, or it provides the WH with the opportunity to double think his decision and possibly avoid making a correctible mistake.

When done right, nobody on the planet knows what any discussion between officials on a football field is all about, unless and until the officials choose to share their conclusions.

I never said there was; I was merely pointing out to linesman that his frustration with mbcrowder was misplaced.
