The advantage of a larger field of vision would place you too close to the real action. An umpire would be better off a few steps back.
Any improvement of the physical movement of eyeballs would be needless to one who is looking at the action directly in front of him.
But the vision near the periphery isn't any better than the vision directly in front of one's nose.
I think the advantages I listed above are fluff. I wish some people would stop repeating them.Like any helmet, it protects the head. You win that one.
You vigorously and tearfully ask for some people to stop repeating them and then you repeat every one of them! The word MORON comes to mind.
