Well...if you don't like the rule than that is your only option isn't it. Either call it like it says or don't. Just because something doesn't seem fair doesn't mean that we have to change it. Is it fair that you need to get four balls to walk but only three strikes to get out?? Seems the fair thing to do there is have only three balls for a walk or four strikes for an out.
And to the previous post...that was said to show that you can't be worried as an umpire if something is fair or not. Just make the call according to the rules and move on.
