I disagree, I think. Your sentences do leave some things open, but if you're saying what I think you're saying...

If the foot in 2-point land comes up so slightly before the foot in 3-point land that it requires a frame-by-frame analysis to determine, the correct call is a 3 (by rule), but we do not fault those who rule a 2 (limitations of human observational abilities).
