Well pushout, you got push'n'pool to agree with you.
That definitely tells you your thinking must be correct and adds some weight to your case
OK but seriously. Virtually everybody I've ever met who claims to be shark-proof, isn't.
Nobody on the forums like to admit it. They'll own up to stroke flaws or losing their temper
but you rarely see anyone just openly say "yeah, little moves like that throw me off and can cause me to miss".
I don't think that's because only a small handful of people are affected by these moves.
I think it's just embarrassing to admit. Lots of people are affected, but they
claim otherwise because they don't want to encourage anyone to use it against them.
The rule is there to discourage people from making sleazy little moves to distract the player.
Whether you think a particular move is effective or not... doesn't change the fact that sharking should be discouraged.
I never claimed to be shark proof, I've had other moves pulled on me, like insisting that I stand/sit in a different spot, that worked until I realized what it was. Just that one never worked on me. I always concentrated on finishing the rack. You didn't answer my question
