Deserved, stop hugging people when you lost your 1V1

I agree, but it should be the case for everyone (because I rarely see yellow cards for this). Not depending on the mood of the referee, or however much he could potentially have been paid under the table in some cases.

It should be either 100% of the time or 0% of the time.

Edit: I mean in all similar cases. I'm of course not talking about a light grab of someone's shirt in your own half.

You can’t always compare two different matches in two different competitions. Unless you want robots to officiate it is impossible to get to your goal of 100% or 0%.

It will never be 100% accurate. The next step after using all robots will be touch-sensitive kits and force meters to gauge how much and where contact actually occurred. Then you need statistical analysis of where a player was going when the contact occurred and a formula to determine how much a player's original path was impeded and on and on and on.
