Is there really any such thing as a great referee? AFAICT it's not like, say, a great player. The NFL's top official is probably just someone who consistently, over a long period, has shown a teeny, tiny edge over the next best, and the top 10 of them have probably only a slight edge over the next 10, and so on. Am I right about this, or is there actually something that makes a star official?
