The other thing, though, is how are fines going to make split second calls better? Obviously, I'm not in a position where I are going to be (ever, hopefully) fined for a "bad" call. I don't understand how a monetary reason will make my vision any better. If I do happen to miss a call (which has occurred), there are plenty of negative things which might happen, and I don't need a possible fine to make me more gun-shy.
Very true. Why would fine an official on a judgement call? I think there is enough pressure just to preform...
