Human error is a part of human judgement, which is the very essence of the game. (Swing or take? Run or hold?) To equate it with salmonella is, well, sickening.

Sports is better enjoyed live, not taped.

And I don't equate it to salmonella.

I do think the for some reason popular "I prefer more mistakes" rationalization one of the lamest excuses I've ever heard. That is never used in just about any aspect in life. You want your pizzeria to get 3 of your 5 toppings correct instead of all 5? Cause, you know, error is part of life. You want surgeon's success rate to be 90% over 98%? Cause, you know, error is part of life. You want 80% of your paycheck instead of 100%? Cause, you know, error is part of life.

Its an asinine take. Sorry to be so blunt. I can take people just saying they like tradition. But making up a phony excuse that mistakes are preferrable is trying to find justification for a position you know isn't based in logic, but sentiment. And again, sentiment is fine. It's not right or wrong. But the "I like everyone trying their best to only have one nimrod screw it all up due to their incompetence/bias/humanity" position is just asinine.
