The part of my post you quoted was in reference to the misapplication of a rule and not a judgement call. If a rule is misapplied the crew as a whole will usually take the rap, because someone on the crew is expected to step in and interpret the rule correctly for the crew.
I agree with you though in the case of a judgement call on the part of one official the whole crew should not take the blame.
