I don't think it's possible to officiate well in a blowout. You HAVE to deviate from what you know is right, or the game will last 3 hours, and no one wants that. Which means you intentionally fail to call things, etc. Which to me isn't officiating well. (At the same time, if you officiate perfectly, you've also officiated poorly). Get in, Get Done, and Get Out is extremely appropriate in a blowout like this. We're not officiating anymore in games like this, we're managing and coping.
