You're as dumb as dechucka.
I'm saying;
"If the main ump thinks it met all the requirements for LBW (pitching, striking, hitting stumps etc), but is Not Out as the batsman hit it... and DRS shows no edge AND xEye wouldn't overturn an Out decision, then it should be Out".

No shit. And I'm saying the current DRS regulations aren't quite right, and should be fixed.

I'm NOT whinging about the Roger's decision itself, but rather the regulations.
Tell me what YOU think should happen in these two scenarios.
Scenario 1;
1. bowler appeals
2. given out caught
3. IMPORTANTLY: umpire says to the bowler (only) "out! caught! if he didn't edge it, he was plumb, too!"
4. batsman knows it hit his pad, refers
5. DRS evidence (Tv, sound, HotSpot) show no edge
6. DRS evidence shows Pitching In Line, Striking In Line, Umpire's call
