Not at all silly. Just not the way everyone learns. Personally, I learn by arguing, and it's been a tough lesson for me that this doesn't always wash with everyone. You probably advanced faster than me partly because your nature of being a listening type fits in with the culture of reffing. Well, besides your obviously greater talent, judgment and physical condition.

I'm glad you noticed the obvious extra confrontational-ness today. It's better for you to see it yourself and deal with it (as we say to captains in the pre-game conference). Then we don't have to!
