    I know it’s a meme but can somebody set me straight? I swear I read somewhere that this narrative started with the research community saying, essentially, “we know a number of ways in which they might have achieved this feat but we aren’t sure which one they used,” but the entertainment/conspiracy communities heard “there is no explanation for how these people were able to achieve this feat.”
















    1. Refs should have the power to consider the context of the game when enforcing or not enforcing the rules. I agree that there are areas of the rulebook that ought to be more objective, and I agree that the refs are too often failing to be fair in their decision making, but a completely objective rulebook with no grey areas would mean players’ professionalism would have to be so much higher than is reasonable to expect, especially of younger players. In other words the ref should be able to verbally warn a player who is being a dumbass, and then card them for a similar offense if they don’t stop.
