Eric-

I'm not taking a particular side in this discussion. I feel making the correct call is very important, but as participants we need to have some sort of 'tolerance' in our expected rule enforcement. Some things will fall through the cracks, some mountains will be made out of mole hills.

This little sentence doesn't make any sense to me. The rule you quoted specifically states what a head referee will do (or not do in this case) with video. I find it very difficult for someone to misinterpret the rule as you stated above.
