If you want to say we should call everything black and white and not question it - then why say anything at all?
Why not make it a violation for clerical errors (admistrative technicals)? I already know its "because its not in the book" - but lets expand our minds just a bit. Someone had to make the rules - they weren't etched in tablets by a burning bush.
Is there anyone else in the world that thinks the administrative technicals, if enforced as written, are a bit harsh? if not, I'm on the the next topic...
for the record - I call per the rule book. But that doensn't mean I stop thinking.

You really get upset when people disagree with you, don't you? That's not a very good trait for any official to have. You might understand what I'm saying a little bit better when you actually gain some real live officiating experience, and not just from your few IM games. Right now, you really don't have a clue as to what I'm trying to tell you. Hopefully, you might someday.
Let me suggest that if you're not going to accept any philosophies or ideas other than your own, then don't bother asking the damn question in the first place. You're not always gonna get the answers here that you want to get- I'll guarantee that.
Why is it always
some of the first and second year guys that think that they know absolutely everything there is to know about officiating?
Try expanding
your mind and think about that.
Lah me.
