You're taking this way too far. The fact of the matter is two separate people saw the incursion. It is a quick thing to decide and both concluded the same. The penalty disqualified you that match and that is unfortunate, but it happens. Just let it be a lesson for next year: instead of designing such that you avoid a penalty by half an inch, design so you will avoid it by three or four inches. It's just too hard to argue something like that, especially under such a tight time constraint; it's on you to plan for such things in advance.
