On a caught ball, near the line, fair/foul is the least important of the two mechanics. It serves only to inform the scorekeeper on what to put in the book. It's only a courtesy call, only for them.

Signal the catch, and if you have the time, then fair/foul.

I'm fully aware of what's taught, and it makes zero sense, if you think about it for more than three seconds.
