We often look for advantage/disadvantage. Maybe a foul could be called but with no advantage we let it go. As I have seen in this forum often, and is repeated many times in local and state meetings, to paraphrase, we have to combine the rules with common sense and a sense of fair play. Though I know many disagree, and perhaps that's another argument, we have to decide when and how the rules, as written, apply.
WOW!

There is a huge difference between recognizing situational fouling and knowingly not enforcing the correct rule.

This is not a judgment call, it is not about advantage/disadvantage, this is black and white, and you are completely wrong.
