It has to be a foul if you stop the cue ball going in, once you strike the cue ball you cannot make another legal play until all balls are stationary again, this is a core rule. Touching any ball outside of legal play is a foul, like if your shirt even slightly brushes the black while you are leaning over it to make a shot, you give away 7 points, even if the black didn't move from the touch. Snooker players will happily call out their own fouls like these if the ref misses them. Saying "We know it's going in anyway" is less compelling after seeing sure-thing balls jumping back out of the pockets in this very video. Once humans are able to see the future with 100% certainty then maybe we can say it was going in and treat it as though it did, until then it didn't go in the pocket so it's a foul for illegal ball touching, which sounds so much worse than it is lol.

Exactly. If you stop the ball from going in, the fact that it _would've_ gone in now becomes a hypothetical, which means it's not an argument because it's not what actually happened.
