I'll take a rules guy most of the time over a rules challenged "game manager". Our job is to keep the playing field level by virtue of the rules. Some "game managers " may get you into trouble using something other than the rules to "manage" the game.
Of course there are those rules guys who can't get out of their own way on the field. Good candidates for rules interpreters and UICs IMO.
