+=+ The statement is too sweeping. There is only an 
irregularity if the action is prohibited by regulation.
Otherwise it is an extraneous action.
        The possibilities are that an action may be 
1. 'lawful' - authorized by an express provision of law or
    regulation
2. 'infractive' - contrary to an express provision of law or
    regulation
3. 'extraneous' - neither of the above.
The movement of the hand to the box would be an
infraction if it were designed to communicate 
information purposefully to partner.
