You are correct. The problem is it takes many years for officials to grasp that concept. As a young official, one is taught that the rules are all important. Not much is said about the philosophy of the game. It takes years to learn what NOT TO call rather than what TO call. Similarly, it takes years to learn how to help players make decisions without telling them what to say.
