Fanboys and fans in general do have something worthwhile to contribute but that something is not comments about officiating.

And the person you are addressing is certainly not a fanboy. He is, OTOH, a long-time baseball person who has worked in many capacities of the game. If he tells you that something is a certain way, he can be relied upon for this information. He has now been on the officiating end of things for around 10 years now, and is very qualified to speak of officiating as well.
