Even with LBW calls and Hawkeye there is a margin of error where the umpires call stands.

Isn't it half a stumps width ? The moment VAR starts having to draw lines it's NOT clear and obvious. There should be a ten second check, if there's no clear evidence to overturn in that time the on field decision should stand.
