Are you saying watching tape has no value or less value than people give it? You do understand how much training is gained through watching tape don't you? The NBA requires it and it is becoming a bigger part of NCAA training. The move to reaching consistency from coast to coast is something many want in the college game. Is this what you would refer to as becoming robots?

I know what you mean, but certain absolutes make the game more consistent. Teams, players, coaches and officials can plan for it.
