I like the language in your post. You seem to be giving the officials the benefit of the doubt, yet still have an opinion that is opposite of their call. A lot of fans, coaches, and some officials, posting on this Forum, often just say "Wrong, wrong, wrong". Period. Especially if the call goes against "their team".
Only officials can appreciate how difficult it is to officiate a perfect game, no matter how good you are, no matter how good your partner(s) are (is). A man named John quoted one of my favorite people as saying, “He that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone.” There is also a well-known Native American saying, “One must walk a mile in another's moccasins to truly understand their ways.”
