You can say it as many times as you like. You'll still be wrong. You're arguing against yourself in the above post.
If there wasn't a clear and obvious error then there wouldn't be any controversy.
At some point VAR must have either (a) decided there was nothing untoward and therefore no reason to alert the ref, or (b) alerted the ref to the movement of the hand towards the ball. There are no other options.
If (a) then the VAR official got it wrong and it adds to the vast back catalogue of VAR howlers.
If (b) then the ref decided not to use the monitor despite being advised to.
There isn't an option where the ref tells VAR he saw everything and doesn't want any advice either way.
No I'm not, I'm stating and showing the rules of VAR, if you think I'm wrong, show me and not just your own interpretations.
The current rules of handball (

VAR cannot therefore tell the referee his interpretation of a subjective law is wrong, there is no clear and obvious error. There *has* to be a clear and obvious error for VAR to intervene, there is no scenario where VAR can simply ask the referee to double check his interpretation.
Your position is that the handball decision is black and white, the law is grey, this is the problem. You're position is also not taking into consideration that the VAR may have also believed there was no deliberate handball, in which case everything is pointless.
We simply do not know what was said between the referee and VAR to state if something went wrong with the process.
In this scenario, if the referee believes the handball was from a natural position as the player throws himself to block the shot, VAR simply cannot tell him he's clear and obviously wrong within the laws of the game.
The controversy with this decision is down to the referee's (wrong, in my opinion) interpretation of natural position, something that will always happen with the laws as they are.
The continuing issue's with VAR is the laws that are purely the interpretation of the referee alongside the interpretation of clear and obvious by VAR as they cannot be defined or heard by us.
