No there isn't. You confuse skill with slop. Every shot, whether easy, moderate or difficult is a matter of skill when executed as intended.
I'd say I detest both of these rules, but ten ball last is worse.
I’m 100% on board with your opinion, sir.
..and especially in Vegas....I understand they deal excitement there.
I also detest the term slop...it’s one of those weasel words...implying that if you don’t

Snooker, the game that produces the most millionaires, doesn’t use call shots.
3-cushion, possibly the most skillful game, allows for multiple out-comes.
One-pocket, which is in the running for most skillful, multiple out-comes again.
So when I hear someone praising these rules that make the game more mundane..
..I’m hearing echoes of some guy in a bar saying “You didn’t call a rail on the way in.”
pt...agrees with calling in 14.1 and bank pool
