Chouette Etiquette question

In Response To: Chouette Etiquette question (phil simborg)

When a group of players agree to play with a certain rule, they are obligated to abide by that rule. In this case any incorrect pip count should be pointed out.

I have several questions regarding public counts:

1. Is the box also obligated to point out an incorrect count?

2. Is public count considered a form of consulting? If so, should it be allowed in a non-consulting chouette?

3. In a chouette where consulting is allowed after the cube been turned, is public count in play when all the cubes are still in the middle?

Many years ago I played in non-consulting chouettes at the Cavendish West in Los Angeles where public count was allowed. I remember several instances in which the "designated counter" gave an incorrect count. After one particular game where I was the captain and the designated counter was off by 10 pips(!), (he said we were ahead by 14 when it was only 4) I decided that it was best to spend an couple of extra seconds and do my own count.
