If it's not completely obvious in full speed and with normal views, call stands. Hell, they should have a timer at 30 seconds and if the ref doesn't hit a button in 30 seconds to say it's the wrong call, it stands. The end. Move on.

Yeah... 'get it right under any circumstance' has gotten kind of old, like the base runner who's 3 inches off the bag at some point while being tagged, or the skater who's 2 inches offsides while play goes on for 20 seconds before a goal is scored.
I wouldn't mind eliminating some of that.... it goes against who I am as an IT geek, but sports are random enough, that if it takes you 16 replays and pixelated screenshots, then maybe it's not worth overturning.
And FFS, if someone at home can see 6 replays from 4 different angles within 30 seconds of the play being done, it shouldn't take 5 minutes to review... just give the responsibility to someone in the booth, even if it's just for scoring plays.
