It's dishonest!

Is this written by the same person who wrote in his book that he wouldn't balk a pitcher who, from the windup position, steps off the rubber with the wrong foot after his coach has alerted him to throw from the stretch?
Is this choosing which rule to enforce or not to enforce?
Does this mean he disrespects himself?
Is he therefore dishonest?
So the question might be..........
Have you called every balk you've seen occur?
And the answer most of us would say is "No, I haven't!"
In fact, I'll bet there may be other rules that at times we have overlooked.
Hmmmm.......it looks like we are a very dishonest and disrespected bunch not only lacking respect, but in some cases, lacking self-respect.........
Just my opinion,
