Mmmmm,
"The worst thing I have seen an umpire do is critize another official in public or in private for that matter. I think that far outways any mistake made on the field, because most of the mistake made on the field where learned from someone else."
------------------------------------------------------
The general errors I see on the field (and also on sites such as this) are not learned behavior.
Most umpire errors come from failing to understand what is happening around them and how it can (does) impact the game.
The ONLY way an umpire can learn is to be criticized. Nothing is worth doing unless it is worth measuring. Evaluation and a critical review are parts of growing, it may not be trendy to disagree with you but I do.
