Why do so many people think home plate should be any different?

I have often wondered that myself, Sam. Especially at a tournament I was working a few weeks ago when I just couldn't get a coach to understand this basic concept. He kept agreeing that all the bases were in fact in fair territory, but kept arguing that a ball on homeplate was foul. I even indicated where the lines running from first and third would meet at the point of homeplate. He seemed to grasp that, but then stated that a ball sitting on homeplate was still a foul. At this point I merely told him that play stood, and broke the conversation off.
I still don't think that I convinced him, though.
