That way you won't miss that important amendment that ruins the whole strategy because you're trying to figure out if the speaker is proposing an amendment or a substitute motion! You'll also appear more receptive to discussion and sympathetic to each speaker's concerns. The over-emphasis on Robert's RoO is one reason, IMHO, that GA is sometimes seen as overly-focused on minutiae and insensitive to the issues before them.
