I don't think the issue is whether an umpire is "right" or "wrong" but it is much more important to be consistent.

As with anything, umpires are each going to have their own "style" and I'm sure pitchers and catchers have come to know the styles of various umpires and react accordingly.

It's a game. We don't need more technology.

Part of being a GREAT pitcher is the ability to fool the umpire, ala Greg Maddux.
