I don't miss the point at all. You've always maintain that rules knowledge is not as important as court presence. I know it and everyone who has paid attention to any of these types of discussions over the past 3 years knows it as well.
Bottom line, would you want to work with:
#1 - Mark's partner or
#2 - a slightly less polished official who had a better understanding of the rules?
It's an easy question. Just pick a number. #1 or #2. There's no need for a 6 paragraph DeNucci-like response!

I think the question is not fair. I do not think I would take this Mark's partner under any circumstance. I do not consider anything she did as good court presence. She cracked under pressure no matter what she might have acted like. I do not want a partner that is totally lacking of knowledge, I just want someone that is confident in what they call and can handle themselves under pressure.
Maybe that does not answer your question, but it is my answer and I am sticking to it.
Well that was 2 paragraphs. Well maybe three now.
Peace
