The trouble is, you can't prove a judgment call was right, especially to biased sports fans. No quoting of rules or comments from supervisors will convince an armchair or studio "expert" that the call was correct. If you show them the rule, they just say "that's never called that way" or "that happens on every play", etc.
Controversy over actual wrong calls does live on (Don Deckinger's World Series goof will live forever for St. Louis Cardinal fans) but the judgment call arguments usually die out after a few months.
