Applying a little thought before answering a question, and not making a lot assumptions beforehand, would be a trait of a good umpire. Plus, it will help you out when it comes to passing tests.
To your question. Is answering this particular question correctly a mark of a good umpire? Not really. Is answering it incorrectly, or not thinking it through, an indication of a bad umpire? That's perhaps closer to the mark.
If the BR is hit in the back, but he's still twenty feet from the bag, there is a huge question of if the throw was on target. If F2 steps to his left to avoid a hook slide, that's creating quite an angle for this throw, and it could be ten feet off the bag.
