I don't think it's a coincidence that both of them have been on the GDC...
Really, it comes down to how seriously they are involved. When refs pour the same energy into the game for 2-3 months as the teams do, like Benji and Aiden, they do a good job. If they just go through a training session, they won't be as good. You have to mentally thrash around with the game for a while before you really understand it thoroughly enough to ref well.
