Generally it is valid. The biceps can pull your arms to your face more quickly than any other movement, including the downward movement to cover the package. Your head can also dodge a blow faster than you can get your midsection to dodge a similar speed of blow. Another thing that is valid is that your head's duck or flinch movement is triggered by the sight of the ball in a baseball example.

The flinch that you cite that is triggered by sound is yet another way, but not related to the flinch I was referring to.
