I agree, but I think one thing that you may be missing is that umpiring is a profession. Being a doctor takes training. Being a teacher takes training. Umpiring is the same way.
Sure, I can know where muscle groups are, cool latin names, etc. but that doesn't make me a doctor. Just like anybody can know the rules of baseball. That doesn't make them an umpiring. Umpiring is a complex profession which is very difficult to master, just like any profession. Perfection is what we strive for, just like any other profession. Anybody can try to do it, but to get there is near impossible for most jobs, and for umpiring, it definately is impossible. |
