He has 2 heads.

Seriously, I didn't say it works all the time or not. I said I tried it with success. Of course, if the fair/foul occurs at the same moment as OBS by F3, the PU probably will miss the OBS. I also did not say I was ignoring the BR, just not having all in front of me at the same time. Like watching multiple runners touch each base, the magic word is "swivel". The BU does not need the ball in view for fair/foul, catch/no catch every instant; which means I can "swivel" watching the BR while moving. I certainly lose sight of the ball in left field while doing a buttonhook, but on "the rim", I get a better idea of the depth and timing of the outfielder.

Also, I agree with your premise about working as prescribed, but all mechanics allow deviation.
