I think it's generally assumed that this can't be a mechanical error. The intended card needs to be near the card pulled -- either the adjacent suit or the same suit in the next/preceding row.

It is generally so assumed. Some 95% of the time or more the assumption will be correct. However, it is not correct 100% of the time. The director should investigate, without bias, and be certain in his own mind which law applies before he makes his ruling.

Carl Sagan had a saying: "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence". Of course the TD should be impartial, but you would need to be quite convincing about how your hand "slipped" so far.
