I think that's a big part of the problem.
Calling a block on a flop does not send a message to anyone, except in the official's head. You think you're dealing with flopping, but you're actually calling something else, instead of confronting the true problem.
Admittedly, I've gone with the warn-then-whack approach, and I've only T'd up one flop in six years. Still, I've heard other officials say, "I'd call flops, if other guys would." What are we so afraid of?
Perhaps we all need to step it up.
