He contributed more than you ever have! And yes I get the pun. Good one.

Also, I am going to point out a rule that SDS, Garth, mbcrowder, SAump and ptmac are unaware of:

3.10 c:
The umpire-in-chief shall be the sole judge as to whether and when play shall be suspended during a game because of unsuitable weather conditions or the unfit condition of the playing field; as to whether and when the play shall be resumed after such suspension; and as to whether and when a game shall be terminated after such suspension. He shall not call the game until at least thirty minutes after he has suspended play. He may continue the suspension as long as he believes there is any chance to resume play.

They believed that the base umpire has a say in whether or not a game should be suspended due to inclimate weather, but they were ignorant to the rule book in this case.

You are reading the rule book but missing the acceptable practices, procedures and nuances of baseball. The users you list do know everything you know but their knowledge is not limited to your one weakly written book.
The rule book is not to be taken so literally as you think. It is only a small part of the story.
