I know that, Jeff. I have already admitted three times that I spoke incorrectly. You are right about that, ok? I can admit when I make a mistake. I should not have claimed to know what people think. Instead, I am claiming that no one has ever posted anything on this discussion board that seriously states that rule knowledge is all one needs to be an outstanding official. So now instead of telling me what I already know (that I made an error), tell me something that I don't know; like how
you can possibly know that there are people on this board who believe that rule knowledge is the only thing necessary to be an outstanding official?

What I said is based on an opinion.

No, it wasn't. What you said was a statement of fact. It has nothing whatsoever to do with opinion. I've already made this crystal clear to you on more than one occasion, but you ignore it. You said that there are people on this board who believe "x". Now, either there
are such people or there
aren't. And your "opinion" about it is irrelevant. Either 2 + 2 = 4 or it doesn't, and your opinion about it is irrelevant.
But, let's suppose just for a second that your statement really was an opinion (like "Gray officiating shirts look better than striped officiating shirts"). Maybe you could at least tell me how you formed that opinion. Maybe you could point out which comments on this board led to the evolution of that opinion. That's all I'm asking. That's all I've ever asked. Care to share?
