I still think that this discussion is slightly moot and would be resolved by better definition of the types of play at our sessions.
When I am playing competitively, I expect people to push the rules and am willing to accept more plays which are contentious and unless a ref would actively call the player out, I won't bat an eyelid. When I'm playing for warm-up, I would consider unsportsmanlike behaviour unecessary and will personally call someone out for being a dick.
in short:
Serious play - Ref needed to call players out
Casual play - Don't be a dick
If we define how we are playing, maybe with the definition of reffed and non-reffed games, then we won't have the same issues.
