"All in?" asked as a question, not a statement - ruling?

When it's your turn and you do or say something that the players behind you take as action, it IS action.

No, it might be action. If a guy sneezes and the next player thinks it's an all-in,

What I obviously meant is if you do or say something that could easily be taken as action,
and players behind takie it as action, it is action.

If I'm the floor and the dealer says,
"This guy said "all in?" and the other guy said "I call". I heard the all in as a question."

And other guy says,
"I heard all in and called, I didn't hear a question."

I'm going to rule the "all in?" was an all in bet.

What if 8 other players all tell you they heard it as a question? What if the 1 person claiming it was a statement is known to you to be an angle shooter? I think these things are relevant and a hard and fast position such as you suggest is unfair and inappropriate.
