No, I am saying that mistakes and bad rulings were not a result of lack of experience. Rather, it is because as others have suggested, the rules are too complex. In addition, there are interpretations passed down from on high which can result in the refs seeming inconsistent from regional to regional, and from field to field at the Championships.
