Problem is that it is treated differently as icing. Which isn't really logical IMO.
The intent is to create power plays to increase scoring. But I have never watched a game hoping for more power plays. I have often wanted to see more goals though, so I do wish the league had the nerve to attack that issue head on.
I agree they rarely if ever get the call wrong, but that wouldn't be my basis for calling it a good rule.
