It's only right. We officials have no business making a call that we don't know the entire audience, coaches and players will agree with. I can't believe I'm the only one that calls a game using that mantra.

It should be taken tongue-in-cheek.

Another example would be:

I'm sorry, but WTF does the font color have to do with anything?

I would interpret that to mean you really do know what the blue font means, and asked the question sarcastically.

as opposed to:

I'm sorry, but WTF does the font color have to do with anything?

One can only assume you don't know what it means and is a legitimate question.

Wow...been on the web since day nearly day 1 and I've never heard of such a standard.

Lots of people just like the color blue.
