"You, for whatever reason, didn't see it (Were you out of position? Where was your partner?). Obviously, the defensive player saw it, and, by your description, so did all the other people on the field and spectating. Why not change your call?"
Because that's one hell of a slippery slope.
"Why won't you change your call for what I saw, you changed it last time for what they saw."
If you were out of position, and screwed the pooch, take the heat and learn from it. But don't call what you didn't see. If you do, you have to judge who's telling the truth and who isnt' and worse, your making decisions based on someone else's vision.
Umpires stopped taking the fans' word for calls over 100 years ago. Thank God.
