I don't know if I buy that. I don't think I have seen anything that tells me they will let plays go if it is close because of the potential review. There have been a bunch of offsides that have been called when they should not have. A linesman will call the game to the best of his abilities regardless of the potential review. For the most part they are good at what they do.
