What you say is correct if there is an imposed time limit to meet some 
criteria and a Disqualification is possible. That would  be a veterinary 
control function.

But what about if you had a criteria w/o time limit  and/or possibility of 
DQ?  If there is no possibilit of DQ, then veterinary control argument 
becomes pretty weak.

johnt

(granted, w/o a time limit, there is the possiblity that the hold might 
cause an over-time DQ to happen later.)
