And you as an official never make a mistake out there.

I'm not tomegun, but I've seen them on TV.
Seriously, I was thinking the same thing. I've seen the "I had all ball" look when I knew for a fact there was contact. Have there been times when I've called a foul and the players reaction made me rethink it (although I never changed the call)? Absolutely. And I've used those incidents to make myself a better ref; just as the times when I can see there was contact but I didn't have the angle to call it. However, I'd be very leary about telling a new ref to use the players' reactions as a barometer for the accuracy of his calls.
