Trying to justify the rest is going to confuse you more.

What Jrut said is important. For starters just make sure you know the rules, which it sounds like you're doing a good job of.
Checking out the history of rule changes can also help you understand why some rules may seem weird now. Changing rules can have confusing impacts on officials who only read one years rule book. Example: Team control now on throw-ins.
