Seems like today all manner of decisions were made to review that should not have been reviewed,
MLS process is video ref in MLS HQ has access to numerous camera angles. They follow the ongoing game. If they see a decision made that was clearly wrong - as in the example I gave of a handballed goal, angles clearly showed the handball then the video ref contacts the ref, tells him they have an angle that clearly indicates the decision should be reversed. Ref goes to see that footage, sees the handball, corrects the decision.
At no time should the system be used for "well, I don't really know if I was right" decisions. MLS it's used purely to correct decisions where evidence shows wrong decision was made - should never be used to confirm on field decisions were right.
