Officials that can see it and tell the difference shouldn't have to dumb down their calls for those who can't tell what happened.

There are a lot of plays in which we could split hairs with our judgment. I want to call the things that are obvious, not the ones I have to debate actually happened. And unlike what we are doing here, I do not get another shot to make that call. It has to stand out. And this does not stand out as to when he gathered the ball. And if I have to determine that by slowing down the video, I would rather pass on that call. And I call a lot of travels in games BTW.
