hyper replay analyzation is ruining certain elements of sports and their outcomes

Too many people want their cake and to eat it, too. They're unsatisfied with allowing the human element of sports to play itself out but they want the call to be made correctly.
To me, the problem wasn't really that the call was ultimately made correctly, but that the way it was initially called is how it's almost always called. The refs made the call in real time exactly how we'd expect them to, so, what are we really saying about the sport then? That the refs are getting the call wrong quite a bit? Because that type of replay suggests they are.
It's just one huge cluster. Somebody can go 0-12 from the floor and be lauded as a strong competitor who had a tough night. A ref blows a call late in the game and people lose their minds.

Putting a :30s time limit on replays and deciding in the rules (not in on the fly judgment of a person) what types of plays are automatically reviewed is the way to go imo.
@Enhance, no I don't think that's the wrong call. I think calling it off TT because that player's pinky was touching the ball for .001s longer than the UV player's even though the UV player was the cause of the ball gong out of bounds is a mistake. That's how high school refs are taught to officiate those sorts of specific calls - "who forced it out" rather than "who was the last person to touch it".
