Valid or not my man, it is one of the four driving forces for how FED rules are written.

Do a little research and you will understand a little better.

Writing to eliminate as many umpire jugdements as possible is not only a real concept but has been noted over the years by FEDlandia.

Exactly correct. All of Garth's 4 reasons have some validity I'm sure, but I know for a fact that #4 is true.

Several times in the POE's in the rule book, its has been stated by the FED rule guru's that a rule was being changed etc., because the umpires were NOT calling it correctly.

I think a little more research is a good start as Tee noted above.

Thanks
