Especially since they referred to it as blatant cheating as opposed to the minor rule violation that it was.
The Canadians kinda acted like jerks with all the swearing but realistically the Swedes should have noted it, told the Canadians about it, told the official and asked for closer review of stone delivery from that point onwards.
Curling is a lot closer to golf in that you rely on the gentleman’s agreement of sporting code to handle disputes. This isn’t hockey where you go bitch to the ref.

I was watching the Swedish broadcast live, so I know exactly what I was referring to, thank you very much. I would think correcting the stone with your finger on the granit, when you are not happy with your release, is a pretty blatant cheating and a huge advantage.
