I'm guessing the call was made because either a) the official just missed it or b) the official buys into the "must be set" myth.

Also known as the "must stand there and take it like a man" myth!

I know there are several who do those kinds of things. There is one "big dawg" in our group who likes to make stuff up outside the rules on things like this and other things because that is the way he thinks the game should be played fior whatever reason. He's a very good and highly accomplished official in general which allows him to get away with it but at the same time makes it hard for the rest since no one can ever pin down what variations from the rules should and should not be made and when they should be. It is a moving target that can't ever lead to consistency.
