This should be 'easy' even with today's cameras. You take angle one showing it was across the line, then you take angle 2 showing anderson's pad at the exact moment of angle 1.

Then you use the same technology they use in ultrasound and do a measurement (pad to goal line)...done, conclusive one way or another.

If they can measure an artery in a baby inside a womb within a fraction of a millimetre, certainly a computer aided measuring tool can figure this out.

'Math is hard'

Also, it was pretty clearly a close call with a Good chance of it being in on the live broadcast, how the heck do they actually line up to take the next faceoff. Play resumed for a bit after the shot and there isn't in that time a call down to take a review? THAT was the biggest issue in 2004 and it's still an issue today. I get that they did review in time, but it should have been way quicker than that, they were seconds away from no review at all....again
