A thought or two about aiming "metrics" and how I think they're universally used in pool with or without a conscious method or system. (I think methods and systems are mostly choices of which metric(s) to use.)
One very important metric I didn't mention in the pic below is the visual perception of the amount of CB/OB overlap (without reference to fractions, etc.). This may be the most common metric, especially for "pure feel" aimers - in fact, I suspect it's an unconscious metric in all aiming.
I'm not advocating for or against any particular metric(s), methods or systems, just exploring the nature of aiming generally.
