Here's my point...
Why Phil Mickelson didn'''t get disqualified from the U.S. Open | Golf.com
Quote:
David Fay, the top man at the USGA before retiring in 2010, said that after hearing Mickelson's remarks after the round, Fay would take a different view than the USGA committee that assessed the two-shot penalty.
"I probably would’ve lost, but I would’ve lobbied for disqualification," Fay said.

"isn't qualified or knowledgeable?" 
As I said, it isn't nearly as cut & dried...as you seem to think.
