Don't feel bad, Tuss. "Situations" dictate which pro umps ultimately make it to the bigs. Everyone who advances past AA knows the rules, mechanics, etc., but not everyone can handle "situations," since by definition no simple rule or set of rules handles every case, every coach, every player.
This is a good reason to heed rules of thumb from experienced officials, but there is simply no substitute for your own experience, judgment, and personality.
