As my earlier post suggested, the way to resolve this issue is to consider the contrast class. LMan: if a call is not a judgment call, what is it?
Again, the contrast class is a rules call. Suppose a batted ball kicks up chalk and I holler "foul ball!" O-Coach comes out to talk to me and asks what I saw.
If I say that I saw no chalk, then I have bad judgment. If I say that I saw chalk, and that a ball on the line is foul, then I've blown the rule.
Fair/foul is a judgment call. Whether the line is fair or foul is a rule.
