No sh*t!  Really?

The winner of the toss has the CHOICE, essentially, the OPTION,
to Defer?  Wow.  Imagine that.

Yes.  This is all I'm asking.

But before we get to other topics, let's finish this one first, shall we?

Now, if Defer is the "First Choice", what practical difference is there
between these options:

1.)  Choosing to kick or receive,
2.)  Choosing which goal to defend,
3.)  Choosing to defer these two choices to the second half.

Without using the mis-definition found in 3-2-3 as a crutch,
please explain to the group again, Guardenman, how Defer
is NOT one of the choices or options available to the winner
of the toss?  %^(

The question is not rhetorical.
