I guess inherein lies the difference in attitude and practice.

I do not do kiddy ball. I work with coaches who know that OBR requires me to check with my partner when requested by the defense on a check swing. So I can't just say "I saw, it, he didn't swing."

The mechanic of which Dash speaks is the one taught at all respectable schools, clinics and camps. I've been told that Western Region LL at San Bernadino also teaches this mechanic.

I don't understand the resistance to it. It's best for the players as well as the umpires.
