if we are going to be judged off of the words of the ref, and not actual written down records of the balls, then the ref should be forced to give his report via lie detector test."not recorded" does not necessarily imply "not known".
Hypothetically:
Wells: Walt, what do you recall about the balls at the pre-game check?
Walter Anderson: They were all right around 12.5 PSI.
Wells: Did you notice anything odd or strange?
Anderson: Nope. They were all at least 12.5 PSI -- we approved them, after all. Some may have been a little bit higher, but they were all pretty close to 12.5.
Yes, you are correct that they cannot on a ball-by-ball basis match pregame readings to halftime readings. But if the ref saw there was little variation between the balls at checkin, that doesn't really matter.
"Did you actually measure the balls, or did you do the squeeze test?"
i actually measure the ba *BZZZZZZRT*
"sir may i remind you, that you are under oath here to tell the truth"
I may have just squeezed a coupl *BZZZZZZRT*
"sir, we can do this the easy way or the hard way"
I didn't measure any of them, before or after the game, they felt fine before, during and after, i don't understand all teh fuss, please dont fire me.
