It what you write is true, then we'd have much more accurate results charts and there wouldn't be so many tracks out there that are unable to time their races correctly/consistently.
Ask yourself this, which matters more in the big picture scheme of things: wind direction/velocity or accurate beaten lengths information?
I can pretty much estimate the wind by viewing the headon replay. If it's noticeable in the replays then you know it's a factor.
It takes me a lot longer to correct bad charts. In fact, I've stopped doing this as I just can't keep up --- especially since I focus on more than a single track.
