Simplicity is a good thing, however, I like to avoid ambiguity, if I can. So I'll trade some simplicity for some clarity. In any event, I have had a few sh!thouses avoided by making use of this mechanic.
I also advocate for things like run downs, especially in three man crews, and for plays like the Tim Tschida-Chuck Knoblach tag play during the playoffs some years ago, again in three man. It is also useful for swipe tags and pulled feet at first.
