Look, I'm just saying that other well known umpires (Tom Hallion) recognize that there is more to umpiring than just "getting it right". As Hallion says, "That's where experience comes in".

I agree wholeheartily. I had a call the other day when I went against the expected call. R2 a grounder to short BR out at first R2 takes off for third. The throw is high that easily beats the runner and the third baseman puts his glove on top of the bag. I call the runner safe. Here comes the Coach. You blew that call. I tell the Coach your guy has got to give me a better effort than that. No way the runner is out if the glove is on the middle of the base. He turned and walked away.
