For all the wailing, shouting, threatening and begging that happens on sidelines all over, not very many considered rulings ever get changed. Desparate and stubborn people will do what desparate people do, not matter how unsuccessful all their finagaling is.
As has been observed long ago, many times over, those responsible for the rules of the game must be painfully aware of this controversey and are expected to respond to it, one way or the other. That decision is expected shortly, and one side or the other, will likely be unhappy with the decision.
There may be resulting wailing, shouting, threatening and begging, but it will likely suffer the same fate as all the "noise" that periodically rises from different sidelines. To paraphrase an old saying, "When "noise" from a sideline is simply ignored, does it make any sound?"
