About the same. My opinion is that a missed IF has a more negative affect on the game. When a player scores that is what the umpire is supposed to be observing anyway, not just in a particular situation. In an IF, the umpire's forgetfulness can cause direct confusion with the play and result since many an umpire will just as likely make an excuse for failing to make the appropriate call than to apply it post-play.

And again, the purpose of the two-out indicator has nothing to do with two outs.
