Perception is reality
In some regions Little League ball is perceived as "inferior" to Babe Ruth or USSSA and vice versa. Neither one is right or wrong it is just a belief.
I guarantee that if Gerry Davis showed up at a local American Legion game wearing shorts, a ragged hat on backwards and dirty gear, he would be perceived as being a "dud". I think we can agree that this is not the case. We teach rookies the importance of looking the part, not because it makes them "better" umpires, but rather it creates a professional appearance and perception. David is not trying to say that LL is worse than USSSA, just relaying the "fact" that parents perceive LL as an inferior form of baseball.
