But regardless that's too close to call, which would not make it inconclusive evidence to make them change the call on the field.

I wonder how long it will be until the refs are held accountable for botching calls that decide games.
I'm not sure they ever will, or at least not in the case of 98% of the calls. They are human and they make mistakes when they need to make calls at full speed.

Now in this case I think the call falls into the other 2%, and I can't see how this was "indisputable visual evidence".
