"True quality officials will rise to the top" and "practice makes perfect" are good theories. They do apply to some of the officials. Unfortunately, there are some others that don't fit that profile. Cream does rise, but so does the stuff I leave in my toilet. It's not an across the board scenario. Some people know when to quit. Others do not. Compare Jim Brown and Michael Jordan. A system to evaluate officials would be a good thing as long as the system and whoever is overseeing it were fair and impartial. I have never had a job where I was not evaluated, but I also know that new systems tend to be just as flawed as the old ones. Ever heard of the BCS national football championship?
