While you may not have been technically unsafe, you WERE violating a common range safety rule and he was right to correct you. Those black-and-white rules were put there for a reason: to make it easier for everybody to follow them and for RSOs to enforce them.
Let's apply your "common sense" rule here: Which of these two rules do you think would be easier to enforce and to get people to follow?
1) Don't touch your firearms when people are downrange, unless your magazine is removed and your bolt is locked back, or you have a chamber flag, or you're just adjusting your scope covers, or if they're pointed in a safe direction and unloaded, etc.
OR:
2) Don't touch your firearms when people are downrange. Period.
