I'd legitimately prefer a coin flip to determine whether certain calls can be replayed, at least that would be entertaining. Just arbitrarily leaving it to a bunch of suits, with no criteria other than vibes, is absurd

Also, the argument against — "oh, so you want games to be even longer?" — is nonsensical when the call in question could be overturned in under 5 seconds. My preference is A) all calls reviewable and B) shorter time window to review. The priority should be overturning comically blown calls

Whatever time "addition" there is from making more calls reviewable can be offset (and then some) from eliminating the 5-minute reviews on near 50/50 calls. Real-time judgment calls are a thing. The point of replay should be to correct egregious errors
