It's no less fallible to allow the ref to respond however they choose and stops the players manipulating a game's result (not that I think anyone would).
Rik's spoken, so now we follow his path of action. This should be the precedent in my opinion.
The ref will always be in a dangerous position of power, opening up decisions to anyone else simply allows more room for error/manipulation, it does not make for a more honest/accurate game.
There is a reason that the ref's decision is final. Sport 101.
