But if you have certain parameters of use like

accelaration,
Airtemperature high, low
Airpressure high, low
Cold motor (less evaporating fuel in cylinder and thus richer mixture needed)
etc. etc. etc.
you get lots of changes in actual needed air to fuel ratio. Many FuelInjection Systems are a not specified to recognize all those factors, where some really complicated carburators do.
So it´s not that simple one could say:
Fuel Injection is working better than a carburator in terms of providing the RIGHT mixture for all operating conditions.

I'm curious which injection systems you are talking about.
The main problem with a carburetor: it's very hard to distribute the mixture to all cylinders equally. Plus fuel injected engine are less prone to icing, they have a faster throttle response and are easier to start when cold.
