Sure, it's possible to pick off R1 when you've got R1 & R2. I'm suggesting that such a play is risky; the back-door pick-off is especially so. That's why we don't see it much.

And since we don't see it, our mechanics don't need to factor it in much.

And that's why we're in C with R1 & R2. (I vaguely remember that this mechanic has something to do with how we got into all of this about picking off R1 and not R2.)
