I am NOT mocking your answer at all. I also don't doubt that this is what you were taught, as I've heard many people who agree with you.
I just find that type of teaching to be weak. When things aren't in writing, there's always the potential for denial.
I appreciate your honest answer even if I don't agree with the philosophy.

Do you take off your mask when you talk to coaches?
Where does it say whether you should take it off or leave it on?
Do you put your hand on the catcher's back when behind the plate? Why not? Where is that written?

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!
I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
