Probably true...
However - I believe one of the tenets of doing our jobs correctly is not affecting the play. Yes, there are mechanics and things we do - and those are designed with the idea in mind that we get the best look possible at what we need to see, without affecting the play. Despite the fact that the batter made a mistake by not running immediately, it's important that we stay out of the play.
Honestly, this is a once in a lifetime thing - but if it happens to me (now that I'm forewarned of the possibility), I hope I remember this and stay out of his way.
