What's emotional about that? The point concerns how much time a team has to overcome a disadvantage inflicted by an official's bad call.

We might be parsing words here, but in the OP, it did not appear to be a 'bad call', but rather a reaction by the OP that was second guessing what appeared to be a 'correct call'.
