I've been an advocate of abolishing the penalty for decades

If a player wants to dive like an idiot for an in direct free, let them.

But let's get rid of the current bulls**t.

A small tap = var analyses a penalty. Same game a thundering late red card challenge in the middle of the pitch and the ref is signalling for the injured player to get up ( then smugly stands by his decision as the player limps off to be subbed)
