Go to Post One of the Minbot inspectors at LA asked me how much a switch had to weight before it stopped being a "light" switch and started being a "heavy" switch. - ChrisH [more]

It depends what it is. In my experience, it's rather common for a ref to quickly tell a human player "watch your foot - you keep stepping out of bounds" or "stop putting your hand through the slot in the wall" or the like. During a match, any more complex communication than that probably isn't practical - the refs aren't going to want to interfere with the match by distracting a team member with a lengthy discussion.

Hopefully, this is a sign that your team knew the rules well enough that the head ref didn't feel that this sort of discussion was necessary.
