Have you been exposed to any video that shows how a black shoe can look like it is touching a black line from one angle and in reality not be touching the line?
And finally:
If the monitors and camera angles are not sufficient to show these miniscule differences between angles and micrometers of distance - please make a no call judgment and allow the overtime to decide the outcome.

This is silly.
The game is officiated by humans and as such our judgements are limited to the precision of human scale, not machine scale. To discuss micrometers & pixel resolution makes no sense on any level in this discussion, we make judgements using our senses and our experience.
Even sillier is the notion that because we are not precise down to a micrometer we should be expected to not insert ourselves into the game. If we see the player on the line it's a 2, regardless of the score or point in the game. If the replay shows conclusively the shooter was touching the line then it's a 2. Our job is not to avoid game deciding judgements. Our job is to make game deciding calls/no calls properly.
