I don't understand that sentence sorry. Could you rephrase it or explain it please?

You ever heard of a guy called Younis Khan, he had a pretty good series aganist Australia and his overall record isn't that bad at number three.
One swallow doesn't make a summer!

Since how long has Younis Khan been batting at one down slot? Not long enough to say that the problem is solved, right?

And if he did so well then why wasn't he retained in the oneday team to bat at onedown slot????

Again if Younis was doing well, then you have to admit that something is wrong with Inzi, which has been my point throughout!!!

I believe what he means is that if technology is to be implemented it must first be improved to the point where it no longer produces inconclusive results on decisions which are effectively a matter of opinion and not of fact. An example of a decision that is a matter of opinion is an lbw call, as opposed to a run out or a no-ball which is a matter of fact.

I don't think the technology needs to be improved much at all really. Every game there are examples of the umpire being proved wrong by the cameras a few seconds after he's made a decision. I can't understand why anyone, whether they be players, umpires or spectators, would not want to use the technology that is already in place to avoid wrongful dismals or contentious decisions. There will always be instances where even the technology proves inconclusive no matter how advanced the technology is. In that case give the benefit of the doubt to the batsman.

lol, how is there to be an inconclusive result over an LBW call?

yet you would rather not have the patience to wait a few minutes and have a match changing decision result from a poor one.

Which is still not accurate enough.
even though on the whole they get about 19/20 out of the lbw and caught behind decisions right?
i doubt the best umpires get more than 7/10 decisions right.
