You'll sometimes be wrong at either standard but I feel like there's too many replay reversals on these.

Regardless, this particular play I have no problem with there not being a whistle.
Sorry to pick, but this is a pet peeve of mine. 100% means fully and completely. You can't be 105 or 125 percent sure of something. Your point is lost in the meaninglessness.
