Declaring you are seeking perfection, doesn't mean you're ever going to find it, and Instant Replay is a great example of just how far perfection can stay beyond one's grasp.

Has IR eliminated doubt and argument, or just changed it? Thankfully, at (most) interscholastic levels absolute perfection although always hoped for, and often demanded, is not required or (truly) expected.

Somehow, the contest manages to continue, the teams adapt and the challenge (and the beat) goes on.

Has IR materially improved anything, or just shifted who's arguing about what?
