Video Replay (in-game) helping or hurting officiating?

I can't imagine this being the case, at least for any officials on that level who want to stick around. I spoke to some of the guys at the Summit last summer and my impression from that was that video review would have two effects: 1) It would make them better and all the more motivated to get it right the first time so that video would serve more often to validate their calls rather than overturn them, and 2) It would show the general public that they aren't as wrong as often as they think they are.
The extent that these two things are turning out that way I understand can be up to debate.
But for any officials to say, "Who cares? We'll go to the video to get it right." That just doesn't have a valid ring to it. Unless an official wants to retire early.
