Let me make sure I'm on the same page here...

RHP, R1, R2. F1, instead of turning clockwise (going towards 3B), instead goes the long way (counter-clockwise) and rotates past 1B in his move to 2B. Unless the pitcher "dekes" R1 on his motion to 2B, what's the harm?

Let's take a LHP with R2 and R3. F1 takes the long way and spins clockwise (towards 3B) on his move to 2B. Is this a feint towards a base without a step? I highly doubt it, since it's clear that the pitcher's intent was to throw (or feint) to 2B.

If we don't allow a RHP to turn that way, we can make the same argument with a LHP rotating towards 3B. I can't see how a complete turn without hesitation can be considered a balk.
