Really? And in your great omniscient existance, how many times have you actually seen a player get hit in the strike zone? Probably can be counted on one hand. So having solid skills and knowledge of the rules actually allows you to make the correct call...you don't need great balls of fire to send a batter to 1st for HBP.
