This is a philosophically interesting line of reasoning made no more interesting by applying it to football. The argument for replay review is simple if you look at its history: before replay review was introduced fans were often in the situation where a ref made a call and then they saw a replay that showed the ref was completely incorrect. This is a terrible viewing experience that leads to people hating refs, and ultimately not wanting to watch. It's incredibly stupid for viewers at home to have information available to them, that refs, who control the outcome of the game don't. Replay reviews weren't introduced as a way to eliminate vagueness, they were introduced to eliminate cases where the call is clear upon review, but the ref didn't see it, because flagrantly incorrect calls degrade viewers interest.
