Since you didn't address my other point which was perhaps more up your alley, I'll turn the tables a bit. Technology today knows a lot of things and can factor in an incredible amount of data in a blazingly short time period. Factors such as size of the stadium, height of the grass, quality of the field crew, infield "soft" or "hard" ness, location of players, speed of pitch, speed of bat, speed of batted ball, topspin, backspin, rain/snow, heat, humidity, wind, elevation, propensity for certain fielders to make certain plays, location of the sun or lights, flight of the ball, whether a gnat affects a play, etc., etc. It's all data analytics, they make movies about it ;-).
So why does this matter? Well, today when scoring a game it's up to a human to ultimately decide whether a batted ball should be scored an error or a hit. Yes, there are guidelines, history, yadda, yadda. But a computer can decide a lot of things based on algorithms to determine how any one play in time should be scored. It can record that *and* use it for the future. It can provide gobs of details afterwards as well for anyone with the time or desire to consume. So does or should that obsolete the "official scorer"? Personally, I think not. You know why? Because algorithms break down, there are bugs in the code, injuries that happen during a game or even a play, and some factor not considered can affect the result. Besides similar to balls/strikes - the "questions" about judgement on scoring a single play over the course of a game results in less than 1% of the total plays that were either judged correctly or weren't controversial.
