It's Part Of The Game ...

Agree. Officials can make mistakes, so can players.
One big difference between players and officials, officials are the only totally, 100%, unbiased people in the gym, that's why we're there.
Everybody else in the gym, even the table, and the police officer in the corner, has a dog in the fight.
Everybody else.
Officials are on the court to be the only unbiased arbiters of the game. Officials are not concerned with who wins, or loses, but only fairness, and safety. Everyone else in that gym cares about winning, and therefore, cannot look at the game objectively. Players commit fouls, and violations; officials view those infractions, judge the action, and then apply the rules of the game to what they had observed. The rules then determine the penalty.
