Here's where I rank the "Marc Kennedy doing a little tippy-tappy a centimeter over the the hog line" big curling rules story in the grand scheme of sports infractions on a scale of "Does it meaningfully impact the game" vs. "Do the officials consistently always call a penalty"

I expected everyone to love Aidan Oldenburg, I did not expect him to also be the best throwing lead through 3.5 games

Some other thoughts about curling umpires judging hogline violations:
Umpires are volunteer officials who are not really trained to spot hogline touched. Itβs boring to sit there and watch releases. And the infraction happens too fast when/if it happens

The handles have sensors that demonstrate if/when they touch the handle after the hogline. The side of the rock has no sensor

Curling umpires (which I have done) famously want to stay the hell out of any rulings. They do not want to babysit deliveries. They will tell players before the event "this is your first hogline violation warning"
I mean, there are officials. They didn't penalize Canada. Then Sweden started randomly bitching to Canada. They deserved the talking-to Kennedy gave them.
