Good points GF, I am not opposing you. It's a balancing act as opposed to one way or the other. It is not as simple as villains and victors, no one ever wants to crash airplanes- yet it happens. Colgan shifted the pendulum to the left as far as regulation is concerned, but it will eventually swing back by the natural course of time. Sometimes a referee is a hindrance, and others when one is required lest the game be impossible. It depends on the times and the particulars.
