Whether the technique is a point or not should not depend on the referee's imagination. 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.
