Yeah, those people would miss people with epilepsy. Are you seeing an epileptologist? Try to get one at a well regarded epilepsy center.If they caught a tonic clonic on video but didn't record a seizure on the EEG, then there would be proof of non epileptic seizures (doesn't eliminate epilepsy by the way).
