Referees just call the game. It's the fans' and coachs' job to second-guess them. And it's a fans' and coachs' fantasy also that we don't want to have an effect on the game at the end. The player that committed that late violation or foul is the one that is having the effect on the game, not us. All we're doing is reporting it.
Any referee that hates to make a late call because that call might have an effect on deciding a game should consider taking up a different avocation. Officiating isn't meant for them. And we really don't need 'em either.

I don't need to dispute your assertion, because the post directly under yours
from a referee about a referee does that for me better than I could.
