That's b/c he was merely refuting your false claim. Your false claim was that officials are either underrepresented or completely unrepresented on the rule-making committees. Camron has shown that statement to be false.

Maybe if I was only talking about the NF, but I was not. But then again, I have not seen anyone refute anything I said about the NCAA, but I wonder why?

Well, your initial asertion

rules, we might not have 20 changes every year and possibly more common sense in the use of mechanics.

is, as far as I can tell, in reference to the NFHS POE 4C from 2001-2002.
4C. Screens
- The screener must be stationary upon contact.
- It is not a moving screen unless there is contact.
Further, I'd venture to say that 90% or more of the people on this board work HS ball (considering that a few coaches and fans are present). I'd also venture that less than 25% work any form of college.
The focus of the debate was on who was on the HS committee. That is who you asked about and what the breakdown was. Once you were disproven there, you attempted disparage the motives and quality of the members of the committee.
Even if we consider the NCAA, your initial statement made no such claim. It was that non-officials are making the rules---to which I provided a clear counter example.
Just found a really thorough biography on each of the current HS committee members:

Found that Bill Lewis is also an official...makes it 9 to 2.
