So, is the touch of home more important when the runner may easily acquire it, or is the touch of 3B more important to watch? Is there any mechanic that says one is more important than the other? Which "miss" is more likely to occur and have bearing on the play?

Unless there's a play at the plate, I seldom watch the runner touch the plate. There's no advantage to be gained by missing it, so runners don't. There is an advantage to be gained by missing other bases, so runners (sometimes) do.

Bob, I can't take it...more than half of the time, the PU has no other responsibilities than to watch the run score. How can you say you seldom watch a run score. Most of the time, the PU would "gain no advantage" by NOT watching the touch of home.
