Awful NFL officiating.

I'm just questioning how having full time refs will help with the problem. As long as there's judgement involved, no amount of extra training time will result it getting it right 100% of the time. If you want to do that, see below

You could theoretically get it correct 100% of the time using technology, but I think that would slow the game down so much and make it so cumbersome that it would be unwatchable. 

Yes sensors would help with first down, and touchdown, and other situations. But when you're talking about other calls, like holding, PI, etc I assume the best way to apply technology would be through replay and I don't think that you want every single play being looked at for all possible missed calls. 

Imagine a run where there was a missed holding call. By the time the replay officials watched every single block for holding and determined that there was a missed one, the ball would be spotted and both teams would be in the huddle or breaking the huddle. Now you have to stop play, announce that there was a missed holding call, respot the ball, reset the clock, and let the teams huddle again. I don't want to watch that. I'll live with the imperfections over that. 

Sorry, but you just don't understand technology. Multiple refs can watch monitors, with specific responsibilities, just like they do on the field. And they can do it better because they have a better angle and they're not running around other very large fast men worried about getting run over. They can make a call just as quick by looking at a monitor as they can on the field in real time. It would not slow the game down by even one second and would help in getting calls correct, more than hurt. 

Science is a real thing.
