I think k they should have to watch it back at an agreed upon speed and if they can't determine that a player is offside, it's fine. That takes care of things that are egregious and just missed, but also gets rid of the stupidity. They apply this extremely precise standard to the line where the player's offside today, but there is still flex as to when the ball is struck for the pass...it's just foolish.
And as Matty says above, it's ruining games. You see an excellent pass or passage of play and as a fan you want to get excited and cheer a goal. Only to find out someone might have been a millimeter offside somewhere in the buildup? It's beyond ridiculous. There is no advantage in that, and it's against the spirit of the game IMO.
