Not try to quickly sell a bull**** call just to look like I have authority, when I wasn't really sure either way. That's called a dream world.

We certainly do have differing views on the role of an official. If you half-a$$ed know what you're doing as an official, you don't have to conduct a review and a synopsis before you make a call. Indecisiveness is not a particularly good trait to have as an official.
You asked the question. If the answer wasn't to your liking, that doesn't necessarily make that answer "stupid".
Btw, here's another little bit of advice you can ignore. If you're not really sure of a call,
don't make that call.
