Beatlejuice:

Questec is flawed in several ways, one of which is that it loses "sight" of a its full view of the ball about three feet in front of the plate. In that regards it occasionally calls pitches like a first year rookie, "tunneling" the ball and rememebering what it looked like just before it reached the plate.

It doesn't have the "judgement" to make the call on killer curves and sliders that umpires have. And, it is set differently from field to field.

If someone is going to make a mistake calling pitches, I prefer it to be a human who can adjust, not a preset computer program that will be "consistent."
