I know that this has already been handled, but I just have to add my 2. You say you want officials to follow the "black and white" rulebook completely. The problem is that the rulebook, in effect, says use your best judgement about what constitutes a foul (ie the rulebook isn't "black and white") It gives examples of situations that should or should not result in a call, but it couldn't possibly describe a foul in "black and white". That is why we must rely on intelligent humans who have experience and common sense who can use their own judgement to call fouls. If the officials judgement is consistemtly found to be suspect then they will be replaced by whoever hires them.
