Peter pretty much works only higher level games that have coaches who understand the game and who coach their players to understand and react properly to situations.
The flaw in his theory is that many umpires are not so blessed. They have to work with coaches who do not understand the game as well. As surprising as it seems this thread shows that there are some coaches who wouldn't be surprised if their baserunners took a lead on a foul fly ball.
Amazing.
