Is verbal binding? Or isn't it?

Nick C:
When a player states an amount, and goes all-in, but pushes all his chips with a different amount, why is the calling player obligated to the exact count?

DCJ001:
Specific amounts for each unknown are needed to answer this question.

Nick C:
DCJ001,
 This is an example that was mentioned at the summit. Player A states his bet while pushing all of his chips into the pot (simultaneous). he says 80, but actually moved all his chips worth 100.

Nick C:
Maybe I'll get a response if I put it in a different way. Will the calling player be responsible for calling the correct amount (100) or the stated amount from the bettor?

DCJ001, I thought I would get a reply. I think it's worthy of some debate.

DCJ001:
As soon as a player announces a bet size, without having had moved any chips, that bet is locked in. If a player announces 10,750, then pushes forward 325,000, the bet is still 10,750. Any additional amount must be pushed back to the player for consideration if a raise is made, or for action on future streets.
