To summarize mospikes post.

The fundamental flaw in the Saudi system is that they only physically look for the moon before Ramadan, Shawwal and Dhul Hijjah.

The rest of the year they use the pre-calculated calendar, therefore when it comes to the time when they look for the moon, they are looking a day or two earlier.
Coupled with the fact they easily accept testimonies means you have a recipe for erroneous "sightings"
