Media sensationalism strikes again?

From what Casper says in his posts it sounds like Schiavone didn't make as big a deal out of the controversial ruling as the media did. I do find the following (cut and pasted from the Post online article) interesting:
“If the ball is out, I call it out. If the ball is in, it’s in,” Schiavone said. “That’s what they (taught) me when I was young, and that’s what I want to teach to the kids in the future. So if I call the ball out, the (probability) that I make a mistake is really low. So if you explain (to) me that this is the mark and that the ball is out ... I can believe you. But that ball, no.”
I wonder what word she used instead of 'probability'? I also wonder what "really low" means. I love it when people (in all walks of life) are so SURE they are right, and don't fold in the fact that the outcome of something they are so sure about has an effect on their own lives. Can you spell 'subjectivity'? But maybe she was just defending her integrity....
Still, again, it sounds like the media is making a bigger issue of this than the player herself, and if that's true then an injustice has been done.
