I would think that some of you would have come across this before, If this gets asked to umpires all the time and your tired of it I apologize before hand.

I came across this question and I figured, why not go directly to the source...

Three umpires are discussing "The Art of Umpiring".
The first umpire says that "there are balls and there are strikes and I call them as they are."
The second umpire says that "there are balls and there are strikes and I call them as I see them."
The third says that "they aren't anything until I call them."

Who among the three umpires is the most intelligent? A definition of intelligence would be a useful addition to any replies.

This question applies only to pitches where the batter does not swing. Tipped balls, 2nd strike foul balls, etc.. do not apply to this question.
