I'm confused, why the heck should we trust a "virtual" measurement? Especially if they're not explaining how they're doing the virtual measurement.
Because virtually, they could put the ball in the Playboy Mansion, that doesn't mean the NFL ball carrier carried it to that spot.
So what is marking the ball?
A human? A virtual human? AI? Computer? Is there a chip in the ball? How does the process work? As at the end of the day, someone or something has to choose a virtual spot for the virtual ball...
And how do we know that spot is realistic to what actually happened on the field?
It might be good, but I'm not going to trust it until I see more details, and see how it actually works....
Of course, I don't trust the NFL, I fully believe the NFL has changed rules mid-season, stated the rule has not changed, and ruled it incorrectly to what the stated rulebook says, for like 1.5 years and then updated the rulebook after seeing that it works.
So the NFL doesn't follow the rules... so I don't trust them either.
