Let's not forget that this "data" came from a 2 week sample. Any statistician / econometrician worth their salt will tell you that in the course of an entire baseball season, a 2 week sample is hardly representative of the product as a whole. If you remember, the big reason they have replay now is because in the span of a week there were 3 or 4 missed HR calls, so everyone was up in arms, but then you didn't see another for the next 3 months. In the long run, it all averages out.

Aslo, great points about what ESPN determined was too close or not close enough to count, etc. It's a bunch of nonsense just like the players ranking the umpires.
