Sorry, but that's not how officials call illegal blocks: we don't infer that they must have happened based on the outcomes. We call them when we see them, and only when we see them (as you seem to be slow to learn).

That is all there is to it. We cannot call what we do not see.

John, I flag illegal helmet contact, when I see it. If IHC fouls were normally distributed amongst officials in this area, I suspect I call it on the higher end of the bell curve than many others but I still call only what I can clearly see.
