I know what you mean, but certain absolutes make the game more consistent. Teams, players, coaches and officials can plan for it.

Oh no, I watch as much tape as I can. I try to see if there's something I wish I would've called (or not called) as well as positioning, where I'm looking, etc.

But there is a part of this that can't be reduced to an absolute -- unless we prohibit all contact, calls will always be fairly subjective.
