The upper limit of a human's ability to throw strikes is a lot lower than a machines, too, which is not a good reason to get rid of human's pitching (although, at really young ages...).
It's OK for games to be played imperfectly. In fact, it's almost certainly desirable to have them played imperfectly. It's similarly OK for them to be officiated imperfectly. While I understand the desire of some people to get every single call right, I disagree that it makes the game better, and I think the experience of replay, both in baseball and in other sports, and the way it disrupts the games is evidence in favor of my position (though I'm sure you, and others, will disagree).
