Maybe not a "goal", but do you disagree with the general statement? I think our job is to be sure the better team wins. Not the team with the better record or higher ranking, but the team that plays better within the rules of the game that night.

Agreed, and in this case, I'm not saying I would call the T. But the clear (to me) implication was that the T was the wrong call solely because it might affect the outcome.

I don't think it's our job to ensure any team wins. It's our job to enforce the rules equitably for both teams.

Right. Sometimes the team that plays better in every aspect of the game (except final score) loses.

We ensure that the team that wins according to fair enforcement of the rules, wins.

(And, for the record, I think this trivial statement is probably all Bob meant to say.)
