I have come to the conclusion that officials do a whole lot of guessing and assuming, out of necessity, due to the speed of the game.  The eyes see something and the brain fills in the blanks.

Exactly, common sense has to prevail !

Defensive players aren't aiming at the red X on a two foot in diameter oak tree, it's a friggin moving target for crying out loud. But if a QB gets touched by a fingernail in the head/neck are it's an automatic flag.
