It's been real interesting, and I have been waiting to weigh in on the obvious. First, I will say that I would not call FPSR on a runner 6-10 feet from the bag. I played SS and 2B when I was youngster and a runner 6-10 feet from the bag is not in my way on a throw to 1B. Any decent middle infielder can make a slight adjustment to throw by him. But the obvious is that the higher you go, the more likely the SS will not give a sh*t whether you get down or not. Do you ever see a major league runner in this situation, no, because they will get beaned and they know it.
