Remove the word conclusively. If it hits any part of the steps of bails batsman is out. This way no room for interpretation or foul play.

I never understood why if ball pitches outside leg stump batsman cannot be lbw. But pitching outside off stump is fair game as long as ball hits pad.in line with atumps.

In baseball balls and strikes don’t matter as much as in cricket. Because one wrong call in cricket can make a zero batsman hero.

I suppose that is partly to discourage negative bowling i.e. bowling down the leg all the time and stopping batsman from playing a shot. That would not be attractive cricket.
