Well like I said, the fallibility of human perception is proven.  It's not even a debatable point, IMO, that a call like this can be blown wihout any malicious intent.  A wealth of research and precedent shows this.
To point at a freeze frame and say, 'See!  See!' misses the whole point.  The argument that's being made is that we know the ref's mind.  And we don't.
If we ever have quotes from the ref, if we ever have an inkling of money exchanging hands, if we ever have any reason to suspect foul play besides an egregiously bad call, then the conversation changes.  And those things should be sought out.  The real crime here is that doesn't seem to be happening.
