Yep! You are actually referring to that old adage that if a referee is uncertain re any critical decision then he/she defaults to the game continuing regardless. In other words, tell the VAR official to back off. Another ref bugbear of mine is the lack of any ref overruling a AR's "flag" because eg the offside decision was clearly wrong. There was one awful incident in the Scotland v Japan match where Erin Cuthbert was 4 yds onside and any ref "worth his/her salt" would've spotted that - too much dependency on an AR always being correct!!!
