David, I really can't see how you can state favoring one player over another isn't unfair. It seems pretty straightforward to me.

I think that davidw believes that it's not so unfair if you apply the same rule to both teams. Similarly, is it unfair to tell an offensive player to get out of the lane? Some say yes, but some would agree that it's okay if you give both teams the same courtesy.
I have been told to treat the star player differently, but it was phrased differently. "If you call a foul on a star player, you better be 100% sure it was a foul. Not 98%, not 99%. Ideally, we should be 100% on every foul call, but this is the real world. If you're going to make a mistake, don't make it on the star player."
