Is it possible that in the heat of 'battle' either or both players
involved in a called foul might not actually know what really
happened? As a spectator, I sometimes have that feeling. I wonder how
a player who has jumped high to catch the disc can possibly always
know where his/her foot came down first. Or whether the defender had
contact prior to missing a catch. I'm not so sure that observers mean
SOTG is dead.

As a spectator, I would prefer that the call be made by an observer
rather than always go back. I would also expect an observer to 'pass'
on the call if they did not see the play clearly enough.
