20. Inside of two minutes, all plays are reviewable from the booth...

except, I guess, the ones that aren't reviewable. But they have the replay refs watching from the booth, those refs knew the call was blown, and were powerless to do anything about it. It's an easily fixable issue for certain situations, and yet they're not fixing it. It could be because they're concerned with the NFLRA. It could be because they're concerned with the pace of the game or average game length. It could certainly be described as an issue that impacts the "integrity of the game", but in this case, that doesn't seem to be their big concern.
