One more reason to consider the black part of the plate. Game play. If we consider the black part of the plate we force teams to either strike out (watching the ball cross the black of the plate), or preferably put the ball in play.
I know a substantial number of umpires and not one has even said "I prefer calling balls and strikes to seeing hits". If we slightly widen the strike zone we force the ball to be put in play or at least the batters to swing.
