Some people prefer to oversimplify to “win” arguments.Yes, in the choice of which players and which bodyparts to use. If the judges are unsure, they can also try different bodyparts, but with a good angle that's usually not necessary.
Both me and @sullydnl said several times that camera angles are important for this function, so you already know that I of course acknowledge this. Why are you asking as if you don't?
For example, let’s say a handball is given against a player because his arm is judged to be in an unnatural position, for the purpose of that aspect of the handball law, intent doesn’t matter. But for other aspects of judging handball, intent very much does matter.
So when it comes to handball, does intent matter? Reducing that down to a yes/no question makes no sense.
It’s the same with the camera angle when it comes to offsides.
Pages of moaning about a close offside call that didn’t go your way weeks ago feels a little small-time. Before VAR, to keep harping on about a marginal call a month later would be unheard of.
