Mistakes have "ruined" football for years, I remember in the 1980's a Clive Allen "goal" was ruled out because the ball flew into the net, hit a stanchion the back, and bounced right out again. The ref (and linesman) thought it had hit the post. Then of course, Englands goal against Germany in 2010 that looked a foot over the line but was not given. VAR helps reduce mistakes, overall its a good thing.

Also, it "evens out over a season" is a complete falacy, it doesnt.
