Perhaps I should turn in my indicator...missed two questions on my ACT and six on my SAT...actually netted money by going to college...but that was years ago.

However, I do understand the whole FLEX deal, as well as the other stuff in the rule book, and understand that it ain't necessarily what you know that counts as much as the common sense application of those rules. To carry it a step farther, I know of "ump nerds" who miss questions on purpose on tests just to try to be better accepted by our umpiring peers.

I also understand that a lotta nerds (and yes, I am one) don't have a lot of common sense -- but let's don't paint them all with that broad brush. If it's the fellow from Bell Labs who I figure y'all are talkin about, he is just one of a few million who suffer from some form of Asperger's Syndrome, which is a form of autism.

I could go on, but don't want to beat a deceased eqqus...
