Why do I bring these up? They give credence to the mentality that the officials' call at the end of the game is more important than the first whistle! Comments?

The point, for me at least, is not that the whistle at the end of the game is more important. Rather, if we're in a 40 point blowout, then it's much more important to keep the clock running and get the freakin game over than it is to stop everything and correct a minor error.
However, in a 2-point game, especially in the closing minutes, it's much more important to stop everything and correct an error (especially if it's a glaring one).
Just my opinion.
