Exclamation Resemblence of a Strike

One of them Questec articles that state, "Garbage in, garbage out."

http://www.athomeplate.com/questec2.shtml

"There are many reasons that data like this could be manipulated. It could be that baseball simply wants to keep the umpires and their union on a short leash - and thus under MLB’s thumb. It could be that MLB simply wanted the QuesTec experiment not to look like a badly run debacle - unreliable and troublesome therefore manipulating numbers could make it look better."

Something in the wind about polictics again. I think I said this already.

"It's ridiculous to expect the umpires to be perfect when the machine that's deciding if they're worthy of future job assignments isn't even perfect. "
