I mean by this that as experience is gained, the official who is advancing will learn to differentiate the "letter of the law" in the rule book from the intent and advantage gained in the particular game being called. Knowing the rules is essential.....Knowing how and when to enforce them makes and breaks careers.

I don't disagree with you. That's why I've started distancing myself from specifically replying to any of crew's most recent GPS posts.
But I do find it amazing that those officials who are supposed to know when to "make a no-call," find it necessary to call a foul on a player for getting stepped on. That's just ridiculous.
