That's true. Just like you don't need to be a police officer to know what bad
Policing looks like.

I think the point he is making that based on how the OP evaluated the plays it is clear to those who have experience officiating football, that he is not experienced enough to be critiquing at that level.

I'm an experienced offical (at the high school level) and I can tell you that I would not have thrown a flag for ineligibles down field on the play he showed. They were 3 yards down field, which is the limit, but that is not going to be called unless they are clearly more than 3 yards downfield. The one they called against BYU, he was like 5+ yards downfield, so easy to call. Or the false start he is claiming they missed, too me it looks tlike they started moving at the the same moment the ball starts to move, so probably not a false start (and those are easy easier to see from the field than the are on tv). The hold he talks about, there is no camera angle where you can actually see holding taking place.

The OP seems like a bright guy, and I think he should sign up to be an offical.
