"Someone said an umpire can be fair without being good. An umpire can also be good (great timing, good positioning, knowledge of the rules, great game control, etc.) and still not be fair! Fact is, the better the umpire, the easier it would be for him to shade in favor of one team or the other."
You are confusing a good "ball/strike" man with a good umpire. I don't care how good one is on the plate or with the rules or working the bases; if he ain't fair, he won't be known as good.
It's more than semantics, if one doesn't include "fair" as an element of being good, than he is neither fair nor good.
