Agreed, my only issue would be that unless its the scenario where you had no idea there was a water hazard there until you arrive, you "decided" on the tee that it was not in a water Hazard but that it may be lost.
So standing on the tee you have to make a decision:
1- If you think it may be lost then hit a provo.
2- If you are pretty sure its in a water hazard then decide on how you want to continue under R26.
Until you have decided if you are in situation 1 or 2 then you shouldnt hit a provo as depending on how you hit it, it could easily influence your decision on whether or not you believe you are in a water hazard.
In fact in a match your opposition could look for and find your ball in the WH and force you to exercise R26, right?
