I agree with you on the lane not being a magical construct. My analysis wasn't for grey area calls.

Basketball plays are almost always easier (and call accuracy almost always higher) to officiate when the play is coming towards you rather than away from you.

I am much more reluctant to have a whistle on plays moving away from me - I can't truly see it; and if I'm guessing, then I am passing...
