That black...
Jan thought it didn't touch. Did you?

I cannot help but find it a tad bit comical that, viewing through the wobbly telephoto lens of a television broadcast camera showing several views (none of which by the way having had benefit of the actual angle of the presumable contact point between the White and the Black) on a finely pixelated screen across the room from the comfort of your armchair, you have a better perspective on what occurred than a professional referee of nearly thirty years proven experience who also happened to be standing viewing at an angle looking directly at the closing gap between the balls from a distance that could literally be measured without even using the full length of a yardstick.
Astonishing.

That gif posted above certainly helped. Slower speed one.
Also, Mark Selby, professional player for 19 years appears quite confident that it did hit it.

Yeah, it does look like it got a tiny bump from the cue ball
Case closed?

Reasoned and rational. Great video - never saw that before.
