Didn't mean to suggest initiating a public flogging. Obviously, that would be destructive. And certainly, if bringing it up creates a negative inference on your part, I would stear clear!
I guess other meetings are different from ours. We actually encourage officials to cite plays and ask questions about rules, philosophy, and enforcements. It's not a negative thing! We discuss our views and usually the senior guys with the moderator agree on the enforcements. This helps us all to learn and strengthens our group philosophy.
It's not uncommon for a less experienced official to find a rule in the book that helps clarify the conversation.
mbcrowder's suggestion is also a good one. Heck, if you've learned the rule, maybe enough's been done and trying to get this in front of the old guys isn't worth it.
