if you are doing the same thing over and over but are doing it wrong, then how much experience do you really have.

I agree with you 100%, as I've said this exact thing on job interviews where I may not have had the years of experience that other applicants had, but wanted the job. In at least one case, the manager told me he'd never thought of it that way.
But this is just as true of the 5 year official as it is of the 3 year official. My point was that, everything else being equal, the 150 game 3rd year is a bit beyond (or at the very least, close enough to) the 100 game 5 year. Besides, in our chapter, most Thursday night (i.e. frosh/JV) crews include at least 1, and probably 2, 10+ year official. To the extent that they offer any critique, the lesser experienced officials won't be constantly doing it wrong, unless they either don't comprehend or don't care. If that's the case, they won't work on Friday nights and certainly won't get a playoff game.
