To the contrary, I think it's more important to go to a new or inexperienced official and simply ask him what he saw. This gives him an opportunity to think, "Wait a minute. I think I screwed this up." You don't have to show him up or even make it appear that he's wrong. However, I'm not going to ask him about a judgment call, only a possibly rules misinterpretaion.
