Look at the title - it is an editorial, an opinion. Op/ed's are usually written to generate discussion; to get people to think differently, to challenge their thought process.

I spent the last half of my "real" career as a management consultant; I challenged the establishment; I fought the ingrained "But we've always done it this way" mentality. Because I've sat across the table from Fortune 500 CEO's, I fear no-one. And I am usually not afraid to say so. I will always think that Henry Pollards interpretation of an errant throw is ridiculous; it defies our common usage of the word "errant."

However, on this Board I can argue concepts and express opinions; on the field I will follow HP's interpretation when calling a game. In class I teach the accepted theory; in a game I call that way; but here I will argue the concept.
