My statement was not disparaging to the whole profession of umpiring. It was a statement of fact! Look, if you want to give great importance to the profession of umpiring MiLB then by all means have at it. I believe that in comparison to some of the more highly technical professions umpiring just isn't on the same scale.
Now here's a totally absurd comparison for you.... Take a skilled surgeon and give him, let's say, 2 weeks umpiring training and then put them on the field to call a game. Then lets take a skilled umpire (from MLB), train him for two weeks to perform a heart bypass and then put them in the 'sterile' field of the OR. How do you think things would turn out? My bet is that the baseball game would survive better than the heart bypass patient. See, I told you it was absurd.
