JRUT-
I have seen people not just in officiating but in other areas of life. They can recite a manual for work, they can pass the written drivers test (and be the worst drivers in the world.) To succeed you need people skills, knowledge of whatever rules or regulations you are dealing with, common sense, and I am sure I am leaving out many other skill sets that are needed. So agree, if the only thing you can do is take a test you may not be a great official.
