I think that the schitzophrenic officiating is a result of the Instant Replay implimentation. Officials feel like they are being second guessed and over-analyzed. They are asked to be judges at high speed and then are scrutinized in slow-motion.
I am in no way defending the officials, this is their job and they are paid very well. I am just explaining my take on human nature.
Now to tie back to thread topic, the officials are using these "weird and obtuse" rules to show flaws in system. It is like if my boss became very critical of every move I made and created a committee to review my faults I would become hostile and a stickler for every rule and regulation that I think shows flaws in company policy.
