Strictly speaking that defies the RAW, but sure makes the game faster and easier to run. It also makes more sense in a number of situations.

Yes, this was also how we usually played and thought about it.
I've been trying it more RAW lately. Some players seem to like the effects. But I think I still tend to prefer the way you described.
Either way, there are some details to figure out.
