I agree with the overall points everyone is making, and even think for offsides there should be more margin of error built into the system - false precision is an issue I get annoyed with in all walks of life. But, I disagree with the pretense that fans and clubs would be more accepting of human error in absence of VAR. HD and now 4K quality tv, combined with social media, 24 sports news, etc. already led to outrageous levels of scrutiny of every call - long before the introduction of VAR, and it feels like VAR has just been an easier lightning rod to blame, and anytime you layer on a new additional process and it still fails, the more criticism it'll (rightfully) generate.
