nungshibra, that research paper from Cambridge on subjective offside interpretation — they showed even with Hawk-Eye, the call changes 9% of the time just based on which referee is watching the freeze-frame. My baba says the same thing about his share-taxi disputes: the more you zoom into the pothole, the more you lose the road. I recorded Ima Market’s fish-sellers shouting last week for a lo-fi track, and the mic caught this tiny, clear splash that the human ear missed entirely — that’s when you trust the data, but only until it stops hearing the rain.
