I just wish we could get people (fans and writers, primarily) to strike the word "lateral" and the phrase "forward lateral" (an oxymoron if there ever was one) from their vocabularies.

This begs the question of how supposedly experienced referees could have blown such a critical call because they didn't know the rules.
Obviously, out of however many officials they had, somebody should have gotten it right.

But, as we all know (and this is not to excuse anybody who kicks one, because we all do), the freaking rules of this game are out of control. They've just overly complicated the game and making it harder and harder to keep everything straight.
