Emerling is out to lunch on claiming the impossibility or the now dialed back "bizarreness" of a 3rd to 1st move made without breaking contact. It's common enough that the FED saw fit to explicitly allow the move, even though FED rules also require a direct step to a base being feinted/thrown to.
"Common" is correct, Dave. I saw that a number of times during FED season and I have called it a balk at least four times during Legion season.
