This made the application consistent with the purpose of the damn thing and that is to avoid collisions at 1B.

I guess if F3 is in the air and landing on the colored portion of the base it would seem safer to me to let them stay there and let the BR run to the white portion. If we follow your thinking the BR and fielder would be crossing paths twice, thus doubling the chance of collision. Which would be inconsistent with the purpose of the damn thing, at least to me it would.
