I don't disagree with that and I was on the fence with this call. I could see it being ruled incidental and have probably ruled similar plays as incidental many times.

My point is just that using slow motion to see what really happened should be used as much as possible to educate. Then, knowing exactly what happened, you can make a much better choice about what you think should be called. Then, when you see the same thing in the future, at full speed, you'll remember how it broke down in slow motion and will be able to make a call based on something more than a guess.
