Better to miss a foul/violation that did happen than to call one that didn't
It has been my understanding that it is much better to miss a foul or violation than to call a foul or violation that never happened.
I suppose an official could justify a no-call by saying that he/she didn't see it, but there isn't a good justification for calling something that didn't happen without soundling like he/she was "guessing" on the call.
