What did you think about the lbw, la? I'm far from convinced Wilson wasn't right to give it not out.
Simon Hughes (who I think is a bit of prat) is convinced that DRS was correct and did show the ball hitting the front pad

The ball-tracking after it hits the front pad doesn't ring true - it was going on. Leg stump at best, probably umpire's call

It showed it hitting, but didn't seem to take account of the deflection, showing the ball travelling in a straight line from the pitch to where it hit Stokes' back leg without deviating at all. That's just not physically possible if it's hit the front pad first.

Didn't they find out it could be fooled by silicone bat tape and thus rendered meaningless?

Snicko by another name.
It's just a audio recording. If I was the 'keeper I'd perfect an impersonation of an edge to help move things along a bit when the danger man's in.

Or buy a small recording device that can replay the sound of an actual snick? The timing would be the tricky bit.
This is a step beyond sandpaper when it comes to cheating imo.

Is it up there with jelly beans, though? Having such a device about one's person might give the game away a bit, and a click of the tongue is easier to cue and control than an audio recording. Batsmen could try saving themselves an LBW too by faking a bat-pad.
