I would accept the odd wrong decision rather than wait minutes for the lines to be drawn to identify some, one cm offside decision, for example.
By having a 20 second rule it would encourage the adoption of new VAR technologies to make right decisions within the 20 seconds allowed.
Replays should be shown at full speed, too. If they see it at the speed the ref saw it at and aren't sure then it's not a clear and obvious error.
