Count me as a little lazy then.
I don't take it on a strict line down the middle of the lane. I break it up more into thirds. If it is in near the middle (roughly the middle third), I choose the side. If it is in either outer third, I go to that side. I figure my view from a good lead position usually does not give me that precise of a view of the exact spot anyway.
However, I see many take it completely across the lane from where it went out....that's truly lazy.
