Do you guys feel as football officials that you'd review plays with a more or less technical eye than someone who hasn't officiated on the field?

From what I've read, the new centralized system was setup with Dean Blandino, who I don't believe was an on-field official, in mind. It seems as though "clear and convincing evidence" is no longer required to overturn. It seems as though the contrast from years past is due to new people making the decisions, but I don't know how there could be such a seemingly large gap.

In the context of this particular play, it seems to me like he was trying to be too "technical" and "saw" something that wasn't there. It's frustrating to me because replay should exist to fix the obvious mistake, not to seek out a technical reason for a reversal, which seems to be the trend this year.
