You don't see the part in red as an issue of integrity?

There are really only three options here:
1. It happened as the official stated it did.
2. He's convinced a player made a verbal request, but the player didn't make the request.
3. He realized he goofed, but stuck to his guns and issued the T anyway.

#2 is an issue of competence.
#3 is competence and integrity.

From your own comments, the video does not show the ref was in error. So you're basing your opinion on the official's competence on what, your gut?
