In Response To: Here's a dilemma if playing legal moves (Phil Simborg)

If it's obvious from the context that he knows he can hit, and he picks up the checker immediately after the dice as opposed to before, to me that feels like a mechanical error, similar to putting your own checker on the bar rather than the other guy's. Since it's a legal move, it's within the rules to let it stand. Personally, I wouldn't want to win that way. In a chouette, with partners who are perfectly happy to win that way, a settlement seems like the best resolution.
What this example says to me is simply that legal moves, which I favor, is still not a perfect solution to every situation. I still support legal moves because it would be an improvement over the status quo. Maybe someday someone will propose an even better solution.
