[QUOTE=bainsey;804383]You know the answer. Green, orange. Simple.


I disagree, sir. In fact, accurate and right are synonymous. [quote]

True in the "correct" sense of "right;" not true in the "morally superior" sense of "right."

The bottom line is that I'm challenging a long-standing mechanic for some. When you do that, you're going to get flak. That's fine. We're officials. Since when do we care about others' emotions in pursuit of accuracy?
You could say "I think it's better to be more accurate than to have on-syllable colors." That's an opinion, and you're entitled to it. NCAAW would agree with you. Most of us wouldn't have a problem with it. IT's when you seemed to say that your opinion was the "better" "more ethical "purer" answer that some got a little upset.

For most of us, it's a "do what the assigners want" situation. If they want me to use "light-dark" or "white - colored" or "home-visitor" or "Milford - Tech" I'll do so. Most want me to use "blue - red".
