I think I would nearly always say that an ambiguous or unclear rule that is interpreted differently from official to official is inherently a very bad thing. How do you coach it? How do you coach against it? If we have no consistency on a play like this, then a coach will get away with his trick play one week, and not the next. A defending coach will see it flagged one week, teach his kids what to look for based on that, and then get burned by it the next week.
Football is chaotic - I agree. But the interpretation of the rules should not add to the chaos.
