Here is the problem.

If you keep calling this the single chip or one chip rule, those people will not be iorrational in arguing that TWO CHIPS IS NOT ONE CHIP OR A SINGLE CHIP.

Perhaps its time the single oversized chip rule got a new name, because I tend to agree with those irrational people if the rule is that a single oversized chip is a call, they are correct. the rule should be written something along the lines of.

"When a chip or chips are placed into the pot without a verbal declaration and the chip or chips are of denominations which could consist of a call (with change) or a raise, then it will be ruled to be a call."

sure someone could come up with better language, but the point is that if the rule refers to a single oversized chip the rule fails to address the issue of two chips.
