Unfortunately, the studies which show that we are wrong about 70% of the time when we call in our secondary areas proved true here and the angle of view got your friend into trouble.

I really doubt that studies show that the calls in a secondary are wrong 70% of the time. I suspect that is a made-up number more than an actual result of a study. Sure, they may be less accurate than in the primary, but I really doubt it drops that much on the kinds of plays people go get.
This call, specifically, wasn't wrong. The calling official didn't call an FF1 live. he called a personal foul...and it was. They went to video, which should be even better than a primary call, and then got it wrong because they didn't have the right view.
