Make any more sense now?

Jurassic Referee, I totally see your point of view. However, I just can't bring myself to totally agree with it.
Let's take the same situation and apply R 4-18 there is no need to apply judgement it straight to the point.
By applying 4-19-4 where an official has to use judgement and treat the push as not severe and later on in the game the same two players get tangle up again now that said official have to penalize both players for the earlier situation and I don't totally agree with that.
My take is when we have a rule which is straight to the point like 4-18 use it. Let's leave judgement out of it in a situation like this.
Not saying your judgement stinks
