But it doesn't absolve these officials from not knowing rules that were changed several years ago, especially in a very important game.

It is not useless. Coaches selecting and rating umpires is a great system for producing umpires who know how to suck up to coaches. Why should umpires study rules when studying "How to win friends and influence people" gets you ahead faster. In this case, the coaches got the predicted results. They should be happy. I am sure the coach of the winning team will select this umpire for the next year.
