And when you say you have NEVER heard of a balk being called on this move, you mean that the umpire makes no discernment as to whether F1 is in contact with the rubber when making his move toward 1st. Correct?
In other words, it's simply not a balk, one way or the other.
That's how
I would prefer to call it.
But, apparently I'm learning that I don't get to make that type of judgment.
