In judgment calls you are 100% correct...the call can not be challenged or even argued....

In application of the rules however, you can protest and get a ruling overturned due to a incorrect application of a rule...and in todays focus, we are encouraged to get the call right....and when presented with a situation where a rule is being applied incorrectly....then we can change it to get it correct.....

In rules application, it is the rule book that is the final authority, not the umpire...
