I would honestly wager the opposite. And the only reason I say this is because it is known that refs are not supposed to look at video evidence. If suddenly any student/team can come up and say "you called this wrong! Look!" then it will be happening after almost every match. Sometimes the students will be right, a call was missed, other times they'll be wrong because they didn't see it from a good angle, or they were mistaken about the rules.
I do like the solution that I saw somewhere in this thread stating that video evidence could be used on difficult calls in elims, but not in quals. That could be the first step forward to figuring out a system that can work, but it would still need unbiased video controlled by the field in some way.
