What it comes down to is what level of imperfection you are willing to accept. Because the simple fact is, we will never have perfection in officiating.
So you choose to accept that video replay is only for overturning blatantly obvious errors - which was the original intent and which does not require more than a single replay to determine. Once it's close enough that you need multiple angles and multiple looks, then you accept that that is just part of the normal variance of human limitations.
For things like offside calls or pucks hitting the netting, we shouldn't even be having participants asking for or making the review. All you need is a couple of off-ice officials watching the broadcast who can signal an on-ice official to stop play if they detect an obvious error. Otherwise, you just let play go.

I agree with you. But the media will make the controversy and the aggrieved fans will go nuts.
Its the let it go crowd against the get it right crowd.
