I'm glad I'm not the only one that has this problem.

Life's much nicer when you stop agonizing over these things and just go work games.

Took me 25 years (of my 31) to get there, but I couldn't possibly care about rulebook mistakes anymore.

No agony at all here. I have just always found it odd.

The only thing I might have done differently is to ask my partner what was the result? Then if they told me they had decided it was a "controlled tap" then I might have let it go. If they told me something else, I might still have had the conversation. A lot too would have been based on how well I know and respect my partners. Some partners I just know that it would not matter or that they discussed the right things. It would likely be a play I would discuss after the game or at halftime if it took place in the first half for more clarification.
