Whether, in my opinion, I agree with the interpretation, it is a terrible way to justify a call. I would almost expect it to come out of the mouth of a coach, not an ASA test creator.

It's a direct quote, although you removed the context. It's not meant to be a stand-alone quote.

That said ... in what way do you envision this opening Pandora's Box? If the runner (in the scenario we're talking about) is simply advancing, and doing nothing else, what circumstance could make you think INT was even remotely on the table?
