You should now be starting to understand why the field of Armature Umpiring is in the state it is in.
Being an umpire doesn't mean your a better person in general, or have special tallents. Although it should, and some do. To be an umpire, you just need equipment, and an association too desperate for bodies to care about quality to hire you.
It kind of reminds me of Actors. It always amazes me how people listen to what successful actors have to say about world issues. Like they have some special insight. People forget that they are just regular people, most of them punks, who lie better than anyone else for a living. A good living, yes, but philosophers, no.
