All that might be so...but you know what will happen...batters and pitchers will adjust because it will be called the same every time out.   As noted, before there will be a break in period as everyone adjusts but since there will be consistency ...and no one to argue with...they will adjust in 50 to 100 ab's at the most.

Hitters will be able to see where the strike zone is because it will be in the tape of every ab they take.  I think the really good hitters will adjust in 2 weeks or less, so we are talking 25 plate appearances in spring training.

Once everyone understands where the outside corner at the knees and the inside corner are - it will be game on.  It really should be an advantage for hitters because the inconsistency of the zone from inning to inning will be eliminated. 

One other thing I won't miss is the special strike zone various pitchers and hitters operate with.
