It wasn't really a ****up, it's just a limitation of the system. The on-field decision stands unless there is conclusive evidence that the decision was wrong, meaning that Hawkeye essentially says the ball couldn't possibly have missed the stumps. Anything which indicates some potential doubt means the on-field decision stands.
