It might be the theory.

If so, what has changed to make that theory less applicable now and why do some say that this signal could/will be dropped? I understand about PT, (sorta) but we won't see that at high schools around here in my lifetime.
It might be, but things change. It worked at the other levels, even before the Precision Timing System was made popular. And there are many places that still do not use it. All the mechanics state at the college level is that you do not need it for out of bounds plays. But I still see it used on travels and other violations.

Peace
