I can easily tell you the answer.
After you guys had already done "one more time" then it was said that time constraints meant this second running of "one more time" would have to be it and as such any mistakes or advantages, no matter how small, would probably be the difference. When you guys ran, from our vantage point - level with the initiation and looking back into the heart of luffield 1 and the transition (as you know) we could see Buff straighten a lot. However the commentary from maz made almost no reference to this, just a mere "Buff may have straightened a bit there" and then followed by "Look at the speed he is carrying round the corner closing up on Bon Bon" or words to that effect. This obviously meant that they didnt see it - and frankly Im not surprised as the instant Buff was behind you from our perspective he vanished from view in YOUR smoke !!
I think it was a mistake, but a genuine one, and as I said in the other thread, I think as the standard goes up and the drivers get closer these mistakes will happen more often purely because its a fallible system, but I dont think extra judges would necessarily cure this, it would just make arguments between them happen more often too !!!
All the other options like slow motion replays, video feeds from different parts of the track for the judge and so on are not financially viable or realistic in the time frame of the event.
Hope this puts your mid at ease mate - you rocked it baller style, as did several other people Marciej, Phil to name a couple.
