As Steve mentioned it is a judgement call. For most sports enthusiasts, we see officials, refs, etc make what looks to us like a wrong call but they have to call them as they see em. They're not perfect. No one is.

I was humbled one little league baseball season, when we were short umps and i went to school and became one to fill in. Not easy on that side of the call as a former manager. It taught me a good lesson to accept what has been called right or wrong. I have also been on the other side of the fence on koi shows.

I think what's important is to have the good graces to accept a decision in a style that adds credibility to your opinion of disagreement. Class* would be the word to discribe it.

Like the old experience credited to the American Indian...It helps to walk a mile in their Moccasins.....

Many of our readers probably have no specific idea of which you talk. some of us do.
The owner of said koi in question could best be discribed as having it*
