As one who's gone on a guided sheep hunt, I was going to comment on your previous post. Learning to judge sheep at spotting scope distances is not easy unless you do it a lot, so if it was up to the average guided hunter from the lower 48, very very few could do it with rams that were close. So if it truly was the hunter's responsibility that would make for a lot of problems.
A big part of what I was paying the guide for (besides putting me on a legal ram) was that experience and knowledge. And I'm 100% certain that he wouldn't have deferred to my judgment on calling a legal ram because 1) I'm not qualified to make that call; and 2) it's his job to make that call. And from what I could tell, it's something that most guides take a lot of pride in.
