He does have a point though - when someone runs for a yard or two on first down, and we spot the ball, it isn't like the precision that exists is really sufficient to then turn around and measure within an inch whether or not there is a first down.

Just an artifact of the game, of course, but it does mean there is a bit of luck involved in whether a team gets that last inch or 6 they need for a first down.
