Even if they didn't, the general rule-of-thumb / benefit of the doubt is that it's a 2-point shot unless proven to be a 3-point shot.

WOW that is revealing. Is this "general rule of thumb" published somewhere?

Yes.

Feel free to write the rules committee with any suggested changes.

I wonder do you use the same "general rule of thumb" on out of bounds calls? When in doubt do you call the player out?
When in doubt do you call the foul?

No. No. No.
On the first one, note that "behind the three point line" is the same as OOB -- that is, the player is in bounds (in the two-point area) until the official is convinced that s/he is out of bounds (in the three point area)
