Doing it that way for 19 yrs. only means you've been doing it wrong for a long time. Part of improving as an official is doing the right thing when we receive clarity or new information about rules application. We've all been wrong about rules before. However, most change to get into alignment with the rule, not the other way around. As you said, you sleep fine at night. So carry on.
