I'm surprised that in my entire reply this was the part you fixated on.

My point was more relevant to this story, although I've heard this from others.

When all four teams were contesting the ruling, the ref said "You should all be GP and accept the ruling and move on" which was mindblowing to me.

The only thing that was GP was the four teams telling the ref the ruling was wrong.
