I think diving and embellishment calls are necessities in todays game. Not every penalty would be caught, but if a dangerous action like a wayward high stick or elbow occurs it should be penalized with or without actual harm done. Professional athletes should have that level of control most of the time, and if they are careless about it I am fine with them seeing punishment for it, and embellishment is unfortunately a way to make that happen. I am grateful that there is a penalty for it, so that it can also be contained to some extent, and I wish that fewer situations ended up with coincidental minors of infraction and embellishment. The existence of one penalty somewhat nullifies the other and it feels like there should be a better way to handle figuring out who actually should be punished. The refs may still be struggling, but it is at least a step in the right direction.
