That's generally true, but in this case, the man who announced raise did so quietly, and then tossed in one chip (key points being, this one chip is not enough to constitute a raise, and the dealer did not say anything or make the bet right). So if the action to you, its not a matter of "interpretation"...there is nothing to clarify; action from the point of view of players who didn't hear the announcement is that this was 100% a call. If I see one chip in front of a player, didn't hear anything, and that one chip is not enough for a raise, why should I clarify anything?
Any ruling that requires the caller to leave money in the pot is very bad, imo.
