So if it is 98% accurate, which ones will it get wrong?

The really tight ones, and given how many easy ones are in that 98%, then it isn't actually that accurate...

And umpires are far more than 70% accurate.

Really?
They're still far less accurate than a Snickometer.
If the Snicko will get the really tight ones inconclusive (rather than wrong) then it's fairly certain that on-field Umpires will.

By standing there, you are making the umpire make a decision that has to be made.

Why does the decision have to be made?
Because convention says it does.
If it were convention to refer these decisions to something that meant you would get away with it about never, I reckon we'd see walking increase just a bit.
Who knows how many illicit catches were claimed before TV advanced to the stage it's at now.
