Help
Well, no matter how many times I reminded myself between hands that I wanted to monitor this, it slipped my mind while actually playing. Nothing struck me as being weird, though -- I think most are similar to me, simply sliding the card backwards towards themselves to play it. In the round where we played against the college student who pushes his dummy cards forward, he was a defender on one board and declarer on the other, so his weird style of dummy play didn't come up.
Thought it was played

Depends on how the hold their cards, of course. If it is close enough ot the table to be clearly visible to everyone, no problem.
Unlike pran, I am less interested in theory and more interested in obnoxiousness. Some players do things that continuously annoy: most players do some things that are illegal. The latter group - to which I belong, naturally - do not worry me.
But holding a card above the table makes it partly visible. pran said they did it because the table was too small to put it down. That seems less than credible. Now he is changing it to a different scenario: holding it basically touching the table: that is not invisible.
Every time you change the scenario, the answer is likely to change.

I cannot remember ever having indicated that the player held his card high up in the air? (more than 2 cm above the table surface.)
Your statement indicated to me that you are annoyed by any player holding his card above the table instead of leaving it down on the table regardless of how high above the table the card was held.
So who is changing the scenario?
