The FIFA has introduced new technology in the ongoing World Cup to lessen the margin of errors. The idea is to ensure that contentious decisions are dealt with on the basis of facts and not perception.
In case of off-side rulings, the artificial intelligence tools that are being used are getting it mostly right -a case in point being Brazil's disallowed goal by Vinicius Junior against Switzerland -when the cameras rightly caught Richarlison in an off-side position when the first ball was played. But when it is coming to awarding penalties, often it is perception that is taking over and there have been decisions which make one feel the men in charge of VAR are bullying the on-field referee to take certain calls.
