Yes, in a perfect worlds all fouls are immediately caught and interpreted correctly, but we don't live in a perfect world with professional referees.

Our student was told by the Chief Referee that "referees can only call what they see."
To answer your question, if the referee doesn't feel confident that the call was a foul, and the referee who had a better view also didn't call a foul then it probably wasn't a foul. Call it the way you see it at the time. Nobody expects different.
