There are two things in play here. Natural position and overuling a clear and obvious error.
The linesman has called it, the ref missed it. So you've got a split in opinion and the linesman is certain his arm is in an unnatural position.
Once that's happened, it's just opinion then, and how can one set of referees opinion matter over another? So they won't overule it because how can it be a clear and obvious error when it's opinion? Linesman has fucked us there
