My bad - I'll go get more coffee now...

You know what? I think you're right. I don't know why, but I have misread and/or misinterpreted this for years. I stand corrected. Nice catch, YU!

Reading too much into the statement. The statement reads "A dead ball is called" . That is all there is. Statement does not asked what the call should be.

Remember "A dead ball is called".

Answer is True.
