Yes I think that's a very good point. If I was playing advanced or old rules I would need reminding in some cases as my fistf knowledge would kick in by default! Players advising each other of rules and letting some slide during games happens all the time in local club meets I have found.

I think that summary is a bit harsh. It's easy to think of fistf rules and official fistf tournaments being inseparable, but there is a difference. I have played fistf rules meets lonly last month with 10 players, but no refs as it was not an official tournament as sanctioned. Not a single dispute as most guys were known to each other. You wouldn't dream of doing that in Italy at a fistf tournament and could not anyway in the rules but neither would you do it at an old rules tourney. Both codes attract competitive players, fistf more so I would say, but it totally comes down to where and who you are playing with as the main driver in deciding on the need for refs. A lot of the more technical rules are let go say at Irish events I have run that wouldn't be let go at a Grand Prix in Europe. Actually if you were playing in an old rules event in these islands and either requested or expected a referee it would be frowned upon.We don't tend to require a referee in OS events...Anyone who really needs an external referee doesn't get invited to the next event if you follow my drift.
