Peace

Because I ask fellow officials, when assigned with them the 1st time, "where are the other 9 player allowed to be when a TF is shot". ~30-35% of "long time" referees state, "behind the division line". We have ~300 members, I am assigned with the same partner on average less than twice per year. I have a lot of personal exposure to officials believing this myth.
