Another thing to think about is the fact that the vets have (typically) learned when it's helpful to deviate from the standard mechanics. It may seem counterintuitive, but the only way to be effective when deviating is to have the proper mechanics down pat.

It's like calling out of your area? Are there times when it's appropriate and helpful? Sure, but the newer officials aren't as likely to understand the difference, and are more likely to see it as a license to ball watch.
