That goes triple for a "biddy" game. You're better off actually discussing the traveling play than worrying about long distance rates.
I agree. And to me that sounds more arrogant than a younger official that does not know any better. If you are going to go down that road, you should discuss the play and not focus so much on the PCA as that is a concept that takes some time to learn for many officials. But if you say that you had a different look and you saw the play differently, any smart official might realize they have more to learn and might be more receptive to some level of criticism.

Peace
