If we look for these infractions, we're doing our job, even if we miss something. If we don't look for these infractions, we're not doing our job. That's bad officiating.

I am not talking about daydreaming. I am talking about how easy it is to miss something like an earring. Unless you have a clear look at something, you might miss it and you can be looking for something. And even things like casts, wristbands and even headbands are not always seen until the game starts. Why, because if they are wearing warm-ups, you might not see things on their arms and not every player wear their headband during warm-ups.
