Can you explain how, " What the ref can do has no bearing on what the ref did do..." means that? Let me see if I can fit together what you say you meant using your logic. What a ref can do is grant a timeout if he follows the correct process, but this has no bearing on the fact that the ref decided not to follow the rules when a fighter takes a knee... The "no bearing" phrase does not make sense here. What you mean is, what a ref can do under the rules is not what the ref did in the fight.
Does it matter to you why a fighter takes a knee? If not, we can end the argument.
The ref CANNOT make it up as they go and throw the rules and protocols as they see fit. Case in point: Tank dropped to a knee with no prior consultation to the ref. When Tank did that it doesn’t matter WHY he took a knee. The ref is REQUIRED to take a 10 count and award the knockdown. Which he started to do then stopped. That was the error and why it should have been changed post fight or a replay should have been done.
IF the ref initiates the stoppage then they can make that call. But since the fighter took a knee on their own then that takes the decision out of the refs hands. They have to award it as a knockdown.
It’s really not that hard to understand.

The ref is to judge what is going on in the fight first and foremost
Tank’s glove touched the mat and hence it should of been a count and then a questioning of what seemed to be the problem
Making that a 10/8 round or at worse a 9/9 round
Simple , non-toxic and self

I’ll try it again since you seem a bit slow. The ref CAN make judgement calls during the fight as long as they follow the rules as they were trained to do.
