There's a reason you don't see many videos from that time and if you do it looks like it was recorded using a potato.

Yes - Technology has changed - but trigonometry, basic game theory math, the number of hours in a day, and human nature haven't.
Few arguments against using video replays rest on technological foundations (some do, but the majority do not).
I look at this as one of those circumstances where "technology" can either be the final puzzle piece that enables great things, or be the shiny trickster that seduces users into great folly. We already know I lean toward the trickster side of the spectrum for this topic.
In one important sense, if technology is truly no longer a problem, it shouldn't appear much (except as minor footnotes) in this thread. Instead our conversation should be focusing on the rest of the strong arguments that have existed since 2005.
Let's hope enough off-season experiments produce enough repeatable, hard-evidence measurements against important criteria (not collections of fuzzy anecdotes from a few inconsistent, small sample-size, experiences) to move the needle in one direction or the other.

PS: Clear (1976) evidence that imagery doesn't lie.
What are Dave Lavery's rovers really doing up there???
