You are right, umpires are to enforce rules, which is what I wrote, and what I believe I am doing.
There are many situations that cause umpires to reduce the number of warm-up pitches that a pitcher may have, all in the spirit of enforcing this rule.
This is clearly a ritual for many of the pitchers who use this product, and it equates to more than one-minute between innings.
