I am here only to learn and debate the rules as I think I understand them. Debate and discussion is good for the old sole that thinks he knows it all, but learns that he really doesn't know much at all. Case in point, what you read and what you interpret you just read can be two different things. I think it was around the 3rd or 4th page, I learned that the calling official has precedence over the call. Rule 2-6 says no official has the authority to set aside or question another officials call. It does not exactly say, calling official has precedence over a call in his/her primary area. For me, this is key because now, I can take my understanding of this rule one step further than I could before, which is a benefit to my overall understanding. Just go to the table and report your call and attempt to move the game on. Don't stand there arguing with your partner over who's right or who's more right. Big key for me. It came at a price too, I mean I had to take a few insults, got sidetracked a little bit nursing some off-topic stuff, but, just like in the game, I kept my focus and I got thru it, and I got what I needed.

Be not too concern as to who I am but what I represent.
Peace
Okay, what do you represent? I'm still not sure. Although I'm impressed that you have changed your tune from the beginning of the thread. Not everyone can do that.
