Why, yes, of course we do. But what you forget is that while those rules
allow a challenge to be avoided by a continuation of the sentence, such
a continuation would have to come from a player /other/ than the
challanged. Besides, according to the Guildford clarification of 2013 it
would also have to be posted no later than 31 minutes 41 seconds after
the challenge.

A masterful summation of Henderson's Variation. I had forgotten that the
Guildford clarification was made in 2013.
