Sorry, I'm never going to try to cut it that fine. My job isn't playing "gotcha" with stuff like this.
(I really do think you can be "too good" when it comes to traveling. There's a reason why so many are "missed" and it's not because those guys can't identify it. Of course they can, they're top officials because they see things and can process them extremely well.)

I don't know if this was your intention, but in a roundabout way what you're saying is that "err on the side of caution" has been taken to such an extreme that, to me, it is not acceptable. Most will agree that if slow motion instant replay is needed to make a travel call, it shouldn't be made. But isn't this like anything else, some officials can see it better than others? If I call a travel and replay proves it wrong, we all agree it's a bad call. But if I call a travel that you didn't see and replay proves it right, it seems to me that you, and others, in no way see it as a good call. Is this a fair assessment or not?
