To quote Kit:

Let's walk over to White's side and ask the question: Is it a take? Personally, I am 100% convinced that it is. Blue certainly has the advantage, but if Magriel, Sylvester, or God declared that it was a pass I would unhesitatingly tell them to sit down. As we shall see later just because a position is a 100% clear take doesn't necessarily mean that it is not a double, but that is not what we are considering here. The key to the rule is that if it is not a 100% clear take, then it is definitely a double.

For example: at http://www.freewebs.com/persianlord/myblog.htm, you have position #18, which you claim is 1) double/take on the first roll and 2) double/pass on the second. You are certain your opponent will make the correct play. Are you saying you shouldn't double?
