The mistake is talking to the fans.
You say you've seen older, more experienced officials do it. That's fine for them (sometimes). They have enough tools in their memory bank to deal with certain situations. However, I doubt they would speak to - or smile at - a crowd that's upset with them. Nothing good can come of it.
