I don't know GS, I think part of it is tradition (i.e. the umpire getting out of the chair to check a ball mark if required) and also that certain people don't believe Hawk-Eye is required because there is a ball mark to check. The problem occurs when the umpire either can't find the mark or is looking at the wrong mark.
