The umpires have the authority to call it and thier p'sak STANDS. it
does NOT mean they are infallible...
So, I have an interesting questioning regarding the above mashul.
With modern technology being what it is (as well as what it
potentially can be),
if there was invented a type of machine that could infallibly call a
ball or a strike
and obviate the need for an umpire, would anyone be against that?
I anticipate the argument against doing away with human intervention,
but isn't the ultimate goal
for "truth." This machine would not be like a baas kol; it would be
to baseball what forensic science
has been to uncovering crimes that could never be solved prior to
modern miraculous technology.
Would anyone be against a GPS because triple A doesn't have to be
contacted to make a travel map?
K.T.
