So do the judges remember you if you are critical of their performance?

Actuallly the explanation from Eurosport (www.eurosport.com) is:
"The disqualification of Peirsol seems to have been overturned, according to an official statement, because the explanation of the judge was deemed "insufficient and was not in the working language of FINA."
For d.q. to stand the stroke official must clearly state what he say and sight the exact details of the infraction....e.g. swimmer in lane 3 at the third turn, turned over onto his stomach, did a two arm pull, arms stopped at the hips with no movement, did not initiate the turning action and flutter kicked for several meters before iniatiting the turn"....if any of these details are wrong or the description is too vague the benefit of doubt always goes to the swimmer.
Still....why the D.Q. in the beginning...would think the deck referee would have done this inquiry and killed it before it was flashed on the board....interesting.
