I must have had the one defensive coach in the world that didn't subscribe to this philosophy. His SS bobbled two grounders in a game. Each one caused a bang-banger, and I called the runners safe. After the 1st one, I was informed that it was a force out. I thought to myself, "a force out yes, but not an automatic out". After the second one, I was informed by the coach that this was the 2nd time I'd missed the same call, and the first one cost his team 2 runs. The whole time I'm thinking I'm not bobbling grounders, dropping fly-balls, and pulling feet. His team lost by the Mercy Rule after 5 innings, and I'm sure that I had something to do with that.
