Once again, you need to remember that not everyone has yet to take the test. In my area, they will not for another three weeks.
And, no, you don't only cheat yourself. You cheat the people paying you to go on the field and umpire the game by this year's rules. They are not paying you to umpire based on what you believe what the rules are or what they were ten years ago, the last time you actually paid attention at the clinics or test.
To be honest with you, there are a LOT of "umpires" out there that act in that exact manner. Eventually, it catches up with them and it can often get ugly on the field because of it.
