I think it can be alot worse than that. When it comes to "safe" or "out" calls, I agree with you that they are probably right at least 99% of the time. But when it comes to "balls" and "strikes", I've seen games where they are calling strikes on outside pitches the entire game. You don't have a great view from the head-on angle, but when they show that overhead camera, you can see exactly how far outside the pitches are. I've seen games where they probably made 40 bad strike calls.
