It goes against the human anatomy and the way our eyes work and why you will see more missed calls out/safes on that play than any other.
The only time its good is when its routine.
if anything messes up at 2B, the mechanic lacks.

Point one, no one said you couldn't voice your opinion. I just simply voiced mine of what I thought of yours.
Point two, there is no issue with STEPPING toward 1B while watching the play at 2B. Again, you are making an excuse for what you consider a poor mechanic that thousands routinely execute with no problem. And if you missed a dropped ball at 2B, YOU did not properly execute the mechanic of which you are speaking since that mechanic teaches the umpire to stay with the ball. The only way you miss a dropped ball is by failing to stay with the ball. I submit your issue isn't the mechanic.
