If a play like this becomes subject to review, then you'll see umpires trained to leave the ball live in any questionable situation and use replay to reverse it. In fact, that's good training and good umpiring anyway.
I think you are right. But, at the same time, I doubt any umpire could have gotten that play "right" . And it is not a reason to establish replay, either. It is just the way it is. Some calls are impossible to get "right" in real time.
