But to me, making a bad call is as bad as not calling a bad foul, just that a bad call would be more prominent compared to an uncalled foul. Both can actually cost the other team their game.

Especially in todays world where replays can be easily accessed, & referees judged, compared to back in the 60's. Also making unsure calls on the leagues best player poses much risk to one's career.

Yes, in your example missing a 'bad (obvious) foul' is bad. Calling a foul that isn't there is also bad.

But on a marginal travel, it is worse to call one that is not there vs not calling one that is there.
