Theres some that are just so obvious that need to be called. The inconsistency usually lies with ones that are borderline decisions. I feel for the most part, the obvious ones are called correctly.
Well, you do raise a good point... but that fine line / gray area is so vague its frustrating.

But, in VH's case, Garcia was given days... if he knew he was looking at 30 days for a ride like that plus a stiff fine, does he take the extra step to keep his horse straight?

There's no right answer here, but it does make you think a bit.
