All in all, this thread boils down to simple classification of umpires.
1) Scared to death to be seen as human (prone to error), wearing your ego emblazoned on your chest in luminance paint and considering yourself bigger than the game...or
2) Personally secure enough to be able to admit error, especially under difficult circumstances, do the right thing and get the call correct.
Considering #2, this correction can so easily be accomplished without anyone being "sacrificed"

, Numero Uno is a sad joke on its beholder.
Hint: No one gives a damn about your ego...except yourself.
