Already covered, the better is an ass.
If I'm the other table, I'm carefully protecting my cards. Announcing that I'm not acting, but leaving my cards under a protector or chips and getting up to see what the action to me is. Not rushing or going slowly, but protecting my action and my cards and moving to a spot where I can count the chips.

The better does not have to reply.
Anyone else that replies may or may not be accurate, and even the dealer in a casino isn't usually responsible for small errors of a couple of chips (I've never seen one make an error counting, and a larger error would be cause for calling the floor).

I'm not a fan of games without rules/expectations. I expect, like SW, that for one round an orbit the player acting as dealer should run/manage the hand until it's conclusion. The host also has a responsibility to run/manage the game, which includes the rotating dealer and even stepping in.
Someone has the responsibility, even if the dealer passes that responsibility to the host or another player in case of emergency.
