Hmm, I've never noticed that. I guess they may lean slightly that way, but with the importance of video evidence being irrefutable to overturn a call I don't think it's good policy to make a call on the basis that video will get it right if you don't. I'd say most guys, if not all, are making the call they honestly think is correct.
