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.

How interesting!
It is silly to train officials on the distortion angle and resolutions make on video monitors since officials use video monitors to make calls.
In this case one official made the judgment that it was a three - another made a judgment that it was a two. The angle and resolution of a video monitor were used to make the decision.
What exactly don't you comprehend about that?
Now if you know the camera angle behind the foot and the line can make the foot appear to be touching the line when it isn't do you think it is silly to take that into consideration?
