Pete, although I agree 100% with your general statement of having appropriate rules for appropriate levels, I may disagree with some of your details.
Pete Booth (quoted):
yet our job seems harder because the Threads we have been discussing lately for all practical purposes NEVER HAPPEN at the PRO Level.
While there are many "weird" plays that get discussed, the philosophies discussed are there. You don't see Pros argue when a neighborhoood call applies and is made. Maybe you're just not seeing the arguments because the waters have been tested, and those arguing know they would be sinking. I have been to Pro games where I have seen infractions outside the written limits of the books that don't get called. (likely because of lack of intent to break rule). I have also seen where they don't get called for perhaps other reasons: please the paying customer, keep management happy, etc. I have also seen where they don't get called and I think it's just gutless officiating.
Your concept is good and should be promoted.
Just an opinion,
