Your premise is fundamentally flawed.

That football games are subjectively officiated by a ridiculous number of rules?

I misspoke. It is your conclusion that is fundamentally flawed.

Subjective officiating is the result of a fundamental game design flaw

How would you fix it?

It cannot be fixed

Issue is the game design leads to "call/no-call situations"

That's the inherent nature of football. And it's not just in the 4th quarter.

My point is that superior game design does not require subjective calls
