This pretty much sums up what most of us have known for a while - you aren't a real official. Any real official reads the rule and case books every year, because the rules change every year. Some of us read it many more times than once a year. Every good official strives to be perfect. Realistically, none of us ever reach perfection, but we continue to try.
A wise man once said, when an official stops trying to be perfect, then it's time to hang up the whistle and retire from officiating. You should listen to that wise man.
