For the "deliberately" part, L73B1 clearly says it is disallowed. Posts
from the Pope wouldn't change the text of the laws.
Anyway, it is a good idea to maintain the act of creating UI in a status
of "semi-infraction", that is, something which you should strive to avoid.
A second reason for insisting on its avoidance is that it will create
doubt about whether it was used, whence many TD calls and much
resentment, which is bad for the game.
Contrast with improper calling of cards, like "small one". This is said
to be incorrect practice, yet its impact on playability and atmosphere,
if any, is positive.
