So while reading while reading Jon Peterson's latest, the Elusive Shift he makes an interesting reference to something Charles Totten said in Strategos on page 105.
I think that a pretty good summary of how a good referee acts.
Outstanding. I agree. This is excellent advice. I do this intuitively now just because I have been DMing for so long. I've learned the hard way not to be too hasty in my adjudications. I ask the player what they intend to do, make sure we both have a common point of view about what the situation is and then decide.
