Why is the assumption that the official is incorrect instead of people presuming that the TV announcers are wrong?

The announcers declared that this was absolutely illegal.

Update: The SportsCenter guys just said that it should have been an "automatic goaltending."
I saw the play last night. I, also, thought the same of Bilas. He kept referring to the play as GT, and he insisted on repeating that several times with a replay. AND, he never once referred to BI. Yet, he looked good on camera. A good learning situation went up in smoke.
