I like the report as a learning tool and let's be real: It was really done - i.e., made public - to try to quiet down some of the commentators and, to a lesser extent, get it out of fans' heads that officials are cheating. The vast majority of the time the L2M shows officials made the correct judgments. Plays like the situation in the SA/OKC series are anomalies and my media brethren being what they are they'll always accentuate the negative.

BTW, I'll bet not many of you know that either the next night or two nights after the SA/OKC event the crew in another series had a perfect L2M report. It got very little airplay.
