Correct.

But just wait for it to be mis-called in a game like the Super Bowl.....

I grew up on a farm, and I have seen a lot of calf rustling.

I think it's very easy to identify when someone tackles this way.

I also think it's very easy for tacklers to control whether their feet leave the ground and they use their dead weight to drag a player down from behind or not.

To me, the issue is still, and will continue to be, part time officials, who are barely competent at best, having another judgemental call to screw up and use to manipulate the game.
