Any reasonable person from outside would agree, no. A team can't be red-carded because the LRI made a mistake.

The rules need to remove the red card penalty, OR streamline the process and make it more fair/consistent to teams.

Certainly either way the LRI shouldn't be able to accidentally entrap teams into losing.
I certainly hope that an LRI wouldn't make a mistake that would be noticeable to the refs or other teams on the field... we're pretty good at catching the big obvious things

The question comes in with inspectors, particularly rookie inspectors. I know at my regional in Duluth over half my inspectors were rookies, and I know that a lot of stuff was missed initially and we worked the entire weekend to catch it and get it fixed.
