Would be better if it was a black and white scenario where any clipping of the stumps is out. Sure there will be some harsh feeling dismissals but there would also be parity between teams.

That'll be up to the I.C.C to change their DRS playing conditions.

Personally they should change it. It's pretty clear in the Laws of Cricket that even if the ball is clipping the bails...its out. Plus it would be for all teams as well.

There is an actual margin of error - obviously much, much smaller than the 50% absurdity.

So it is logical to use that as the smaller umpire's call window. But you have do it both ways too - even if ball tracking shows it missing the stumps but within the margin of error, it's still out.

But how do you know if it's clipping the bails?

What you see is a calculation, not what actually would have happened. There's a margin of error.
