I know a guy who once called a pitch perfectly down the middle a ball, just to make the point that he could. Now, I wouldn't recommend making a habit of displays of umpire power, but the point he got across is an important one. The call was made the way it looked to PU - no need to justify it in any way. Let the fans and armchair umps worry about that over beers later.
