Pool players always have an excuse. One of the most popular is accusing ones opponent of sandbagging.

The spot shot was once a thing. It would only be a thing if balls behind the line were spotted. I'm thinking the other part of the rule was just forgotten or never learned by casual players and just persisted. Now the only time a spot shot is ever seen is in 1pkt or some wierd tourney playoff.
