I'd say you're correct. Whoever sent out that memo needs to sit back and watch a few games. Around here, there is a crowd reaction on nearly every close call. Add to that crowd reactions from misunderstanding the rules, and by the logic in the memo, officials in this area are wrong over half the time.
Officials just don't miss as many calls as the fans indicate.
