Again, I agree that it has little to do with knowledge of rules or application. It has a lot to do with judgment and professionalism. My opinion. I just wonder what else he "won't do" with the game on the line. That's all.
I think a lot of mechanics are stupid - but we do them because we are supposed to. Would you want a ref who won't switch properly and makes his partner do a long switch because he's inherently lazy (but a great caller)? Same mentality.
