We don't need any correctable errors, or any hanky panky, in our games when it can be prevented. Having an extra set of eyes knowing who the "real" shooter is can be helpful in a few situations.

Sure. A quick "Partner, 25 blue is our shooter" works great. Or a simple "Shooter is right there" with a quick finger point...but certainly not a bird dog.
