This rule change was made so the rule matched what was being called. IOW, it hasn't been a problem before at the pro (or at least MLB) level. If the shoulders are (generally) facing the plate, F1 is in the wind-up. IF the shoulders are (generally) facing 1st or 3rd, F1 is in the set. The rest of the motion is also (again, generall) different -- rocker step or not, hands above the head or not, etc.
That said, the NCAA made a change last year(?) in the opposite driection to avoid some of the confusion.
