Does anyone seriously believe that that silly computer replay thing they have in tennis bears any meaningful relation to reality? I know the players don't (particularly Federer). Though it is probably better than the human eye, on average, I just have to laugh on close calls when they zoom in on the little image to show the sub-millimeter gap between the computerized ball mark and the computerized line. Infinitely precise this thing is, apparently. It's like at work when you make the mistake of throwing a number out to roughly estimate something and your boss latches onto it and treats it like gospel. As soon as something gets quantified, any hope of qualifying it is lost.
