But normally we allow a brief discussion over a judgment call (other than ball/strike, of course). Safe/out is often argued, as is fair/foul. If not prolonged, profane, physical or personal, we allow a little venting and ranting before telling them that we've had enough. Without foul lines I allow ZERO discussion of fair/foul. It's what I say it is and they know better in advance than to question it.
