You either end up inflating one penalty or minimizing the other (or both, depending on how you look at it). Similarly I’ve often thought the way “half the distance to the goal” is assessed is weird too. If the defense commits a 15-yard facemask on the 14-yard line, it’s a 7-yard penalty. If an offensive lineman gets called for holding on their own 9-yard line, it’s a 4.5 yard penalty rather than a 10 yard one. Why not place the ball on the 1-yard line or even right on the goal line in those situations?  As with “offsetting,” it seems like sometimes “half the distance” at best minimizes the punishment for penalties in certain circumstances and at worst actually incentivizes players to commit penalties in some situations…</blockquote>
