Assuming it's a 2 inch wobble, you're right. It's easy to miss, but higher level officials should catch it fairly often.
If it's a side step that actually creates distance from a defender, then it should caught more often than missed. Otherwise, anytime there's a defender nearby, we'd miss 100% of the travels.
