There is a comment in a manual, CCA I think, which says call borderline pitches a strike. I thought my analyzing it would create a good discussion.

If, by that, they mean that if a sliver of the ball touches the very edge of the zone, it's to be called a strike ... then yes - that's a strike - by rule.

There are other edges to consider that vary from person to person. Quoting definitions is rote and for discussion boorish.
