My point was the advice you gave is not much help. When something happens on the field, you have to make some kind of ruling. If you don't know the rule, then telling you not to make up rules provides no direction. Of course, if your real advice is to learn the rules so as not to end up in this position, that's hard to argue with.

Which is harder?
Following Snaqwells initial premise about no one being perfect when they officiate their first game and speaking of the basic rules and the decision-making between a baseball umpire or a basketball referee; which is harder to learn to officiate?

I played a lot of baseball as a kid, but never once saw an umpire ding a batter for having the foot out of the box. Didn't see it until I was in my late 20's playing slow pitch. It's just hard for me to consider a rule basic when I've only seen it broken and enforced once in my lifetime. Let me ask this, how often do y'all see this happen in actual games at the various levels?

I guess this speaks to my point, thanks.
I was called for it in a slow pitch game once; standard swing but my lead foot went a little too close to third base (my plant foot stayed in the box). One of my first slow pitch games ever, and I was still in effect learning to hit.
