I made this comment about 2 months ago and was bashed for it, but I will make it again. It should satisfy both sides of this argument. Officiating is subjective. By definition SUBJECTIVE means: judgment based on individual personal impressions.
As we see on this board on a daily basis,even amonst Veteran officials, we dont always agree. Subjectivity, or judgement calls, are often disagreed upon. Hand checking, illegal screens, and contact during rebounds are often viewed differently by officials. You can watch a major NCAA game and see two officials pointing in different directions on a charging/blocking foul. Same can be said for ball being batted out of bounds. Officiating depends on what you think you saw and from what angle you saw it. Different angles create different vantage points. Not all officiating is cut and dry. Not all calls are by the book. Different official call games differently. Just how we work as individuals and humans.
