You are not the only one who disagrees with such a blanket statement, Tee.
I often wonder who believes this statement when the thorny situation arises that requires the intervention of an umpire who otherwise was going "unnoticed." Sometimes it is our
job to inject ourselves into the game in a manner in which everyone notices us. You get a big obstruction call, some weird interference, intentionally hit batters, etc. and you're center stage. While I doubt many of us
want this, it's expected when it occurs, and when it does, I handle it professionally and without concern for what people think.
