Consistency in judgment and perception is a qualification necessary to obtain high refereeing skills. If a person is sharp and able, but not consistent, then he is not of a observer mind. He probably would fit the class of great thinkers who maintain that a consistent mind is not an advantage.

An important factor is the establishment of like-minded consistency within group of referees. Referees should not be creative. Seeing with their personal opinion, forming and adjusting actions as valid or non-valid points in their minds in not acceptable. Referees should simply be observers and noters of the action. Whether the technique is a point or not should not depend on the referee's imagination.

After a like-minded group, incorrectly called a group following the rules, is established, the next step is to assemble a like-minded observer group from different geographical and/or style areas. Until this step is accomplished we cannot proceed to establish and inculcate a common criteria for the judgment of a point, or formulation and codification of the of proper body language for communication purposes. Correlation of concepts and judgments through commonly held perceptions and interpretations is a must.

The referees should not read body language, neither that of competitors nor spectators. This creates a bias towards the language most easily understood to the official-his own. Body language is a major factor in bad referee judgment. Just as person understands the language that he personally speaks, the referee understands and gives context to the body language that he is most familiar with. In the case of a fighter, the referee reads intent, actions of attack and defense, and by nature helps the fighter to a completion of his effort. The mind of the referee completes the action in the same way that a person engaged in conversation completes the meaning of truncated or idiomized words.

In sports that require subjective reality judgment, the casting of meaning can define action and in effect cause results. Starting and stopping the match, cutting of movements that are drifting out of bounds, unnecessary repositioning of the fighter, all are created circumstance under the control of and emanating from the referee.

In other words, description or interpretations of actions can be said to be created by the viewer according to his view of reality. This directly contradicts the proposition that the referee is not the player in the competition and should only act to regulate the match and ascertain that each combatant gets what they earn. Winning or not should not depend on the which referee. The match is won by the contestant's actions and should be judged with a universal mind trained to use a universal language, the language called "the rules."

Independent thinking is a disqualifier for refereeing and because an unfettered mind is a must for advanced thinking, can it be said that good referee should not demonstrate the mind necessary for advanced thinking? Can it be said that many proficient referees, in fact, do not show a mind capable of advanced thinking? Can it be said that advanced thinkers cannot be referees? I certainly hope not.
