Agree. Sound your whistle.

But does it also mean knowing how the ball got tipped (possibly deflected) out of bounds, or seeing a ball handler step one quarter of one inch on the sideline forty-one (or maybe forty-six, or eighty-three, or ninety-three)) feet away (especially with players between the Lead and the ball handler)?

That sounds a little more like ball watching, maybe not exactly the same, but close.
