yes, but it is going too far. Waving a flag, or perhaps the occasional short conversation does not delay a match very much. There is a net gain. I can't see much of a net gain in video refs simply due to the unnecessary delay. One of the delights of football is that 15-20 seconds after a goal they are kicking off again. (the calls in this world cup have been pretty good; I've watched, literally, every game so far and there have been a couple of shockers - which obviously we notice - but generally it has been good)
