I would submit that it is not "undeniable" since the majority of real officials who have seen these calls seem to disagree that they were mistakes.
The only "bad" call in my book was the blocking below the waist penalty on Hasselbeck when trying to make a tackle. And I never saw a replay showing me whether or not he actually contacted the blocker - this MAY have actually been a technically correct call. The one replay I did see leads me to doubt this, but lacking multiple replays, it's possible.
