Calling the obvious out

[MD Longhorn]

I do what you do, although not as long (maybe 1 or 1 1/2 seconds tops). However, I HAVE heard his comments made in a clinic before. I make a minimalist signal because if you do absolutely nothing, there may be someone who thinks you're not making a call because the obvious out is not an out after all (for whatever reason). I don't like his "signal" as it's not necessarily obvious what he's calling. I'd rather see nothing than a signal that is not known by all.
