It's that double edged sword. People accuse us of "swallowing our whistles" at the end of the game and say we should call the game the same way at the beginning and the end. But then of course, when a foul call IS made, we're told, "you got to let the players decide the game." As if a player fouling an opponent isn't HIM deciding the game.
Damned if you do, damned if you don't. That's why we get paid the big bucks.
