I'm a pointer, but I've never understood the need to look at my finger as I point, as I'm pretty sure I know where it is. I keep my eyes on the field, as that would be the logical thing to do. Now, if you have no runners on, fine, look wherever you wish to call your strikes. But with runners, you need as many eyes on the field as you can get.
If you've got a runner at third, and are looking to the right to call strike two, bad things could happen. They probably won't, and you can get away with it for many years, but I don't take that chance.
I'd equate it to having an indicator in the field. Not a big deal, but it could get in you trouble some day. And understand that some folks will think you look goofy too. (where is he looking?)
