If you must blame someone, blame the engineers who implemented that system. (But don't blame them too harshly, because they're working within the limitations of using the materials at hand.)

I blame whoever made the decision that dedicated scorers weren't needed and placed the extra work on the refs.

After reading the rules at kickoff I told our RD that she'd need more ref volunteers to act as dedicated scorekeepers/assist trackers. I can't tell you how disappointed I was to later discover that something I recognized after 2 hours with the rules was technically impossible due to the design of the scoring system.
