Oh but to finish MY thought, Callan: I've always presumed that the body language for "I wish you hadn't said that" is different from and distinguishable from the body language for "that's not legit." I expect the Dogs GM, for instance, to be able to make that determination. But maybe that's optimistic on my part.
It doesn't really matter for Dogs in particular, but it might matter in the abstract. In Dogs, the "that's not legit" call is weak weak weak. All that you can affect with it is what someone has to say before they get to roll dice for a particular trait. You can't make them take back their raise or anything significant. You can't even make them stop talking - if you're like, "nah, weak," that only means that they have to say more.
