Has to be more than 50% IIRC.I dont get why that is outside leg, some part of the ball still was inside the line?

You get one LBW overturned I guessbooo, why go back around the wicket
Since some part of the ball pitched inside the line shouldn't that be umpire's call?The middle of the ball i.e. the part of the ball that actually hits the ground has to be in line.
There's no umpire's call on something which is completely 100% definitive i.e. where the ball hit the groundSince some part of the ball pitched inside the line shouldn't that be umpire's call?
If where the ball hit the ground is 100% definitive, then why isn't "where it hit him on the pad"?There's no umpire's call on something which is completely 100% definitive i.e. where the ball hit the ground
Because that isn't definitive, because a human has to basically guess where the impact is which is actually quite hard to do precisely, due to the fact that a very hard, fast object (a cricket ball) impacting a soft, angular object (a pad) is not even remotely elastic and therefore quite hard to pin down. The interaction between ball and pad will almost certainly change the ball's trajectory in completely unexpected ways even as the ball is "sinking in" to the pad, and therefore the point of impact is never quite certain.If where the ball hit the ground is 100% definitive, then why isn't "where it hit him on the pad"?
Static you mean? The pad is quite elastic. That fact that it's usually moving doesn't help.Because that isn't definitive, because a human has to basically guess where the impact is which is actually quite hard to do precisely, due to the fact that a very hard, fast object (a cricket ball) impacting a soft, angular object (a pad) is not even remotely elastic and therefore quite hard to pin down.

Whereas, well, you can sort of see where it hit the ground.
Its not 100% definitive where the ball will hit the stumps after hitting the pads.If where the ball hit the ground is 100% definitive, then why isn't "where it hit him on the pad"?
Elastic in the sense of an elastic collision. Think two billard balls colliding (that would be elastic) as opposed to, say, two grandfather clocks (very, very non-elastic). One process is very easy to predict, one is not.Static you mean? The pad is quite elastic.
