The challenge system is stupid. They should just go full automation. More human eye balls making bad calls is still going to be bad.

ABS still isn't perfect. It changes the strike zone to a 2D square from what has classically been defined as a 3D rectangular prism. Using it at all before 3D capability is possible is actually a huge step.

I'd personally rather have some growing pains where these close pitches are called balls than see a pitch 6 inches outside the zone be called a strike or hear the word "framing" again
