This is my stance. Having a strong knowledge of the rules and when to apply what rule in which situation provides an inner confidence to make a call, know that you are ruling appropriately, and are able to confidently explain your call based on the rules. Knowing and using the rules appropriately is a foundation of good game management.
The colleague that I am having this exchange with likes to brag that he doesn't know the rules as good as he should, but he is such a good "game manager" that it doesn't really matter.
