I completely agree, but it depends on how closely the powers that be are watching and paying attention.
If you're in the tower eating a sandwich, and you hear Alan say "whoa!" which makes you look up and see smoke and a car crossed-up shortly past the finish line, it is probably easy to make the bad assumption here.
And no, I don't think any assumptions should ever be made in these cases. But we also know how much of a priority we can be in the NHRA world.
