False equivalence. I've heard every argument against it. I've not been swayed by any of them. I do it on very close pitches where I'd anticipate a coach saying, "Where was that pitch?" In my experience, it shuts down a majority of those questions.

I hear a fair number of D1 baseball and ML umpires do this, BTW.

Low/high? Never. In/out? Sure.
