Repairing illegal moves in non-clocked play

I'm sure Jason's point is this: if you don't have the mechanism that shows your turn is complete (picking up the dice), how do you proceed? In my experience, maybe 10% of the players who correct the roll actually make a verbal indication that they are finished. They just assume the opponent knows they are finished. Sometimes I ask "is that your play?" but not always. If I proceed to roll (particularly if that roll is bad for my opp) and the opponent says "I was just looking at that candidate..." then an issue arises. Here again you could assume that no reasonable director would ever go along with this claim, but in my experience either A) that kind of assumption is fallacious or B) there are fewer 'reasonable' directors around than we'd like to think.
