This is pretty much the only statement I agree with. And it doesn't necessarily make it right. It's just true.

If both officials have good angles on the relevant action and have seen the whole play, this
may be true. In this case, for any number of reasons it absolutely is not.

Why would you say this? There's no reason C couldn't see the defender's movements the entire time. He certainly had a better view than the L who had to look through two other players and out of his primary to see the defender.

You do know that a player standing even fully in the half of the lane opposite the L, let alone on the lane line on that side, is
not in the L's primary, and is in fact in the C's PCA, don't you?
I agree with most posters here that this is a clear PC foul - I'm willing to listen to an argument that LGP hadn't been established, but I think that's a tough one to make. Regardless, the L had no look at this play.
