I wonder if poker needs a rule whereby all action on the last betting round must be verbalized. I have seen instances where P1 taps, P2 taps, P1 tables, then P2 says he didn't check. P1 saw the check but dealer didn't, argument ensues, floor usually sides with P2 and gives him the option to bet.
It's often a clear angle shoot and I have seen it many times. Could be holdem with a few players seeing a flop which checks round only for an early or middle position player to yell out "I didn't check" even though they said nothing as people after him had checked. They wait until the last player checks then they speak up.
