Is it possible for there to be variances in the way some may perceive the aim points AB or BC ?. I know that if I see it being a B and hit the shot and it goes in, there may be someone who saw it as a A and it will also go in. Are we to believe our eyes and commit to the shot the way we see it?.

I would think for a given shot and relationship to the pocket that certain borderline shots especially could be perceived differently. I don't think the objective aim points A/B/C etc. change, just our perception of them or what is needed to make the shot.

But I would also bet that most skilled Pro1 or SEE practitioners would see 98%+ of the shots the same way. I know for me, I'm still working on longer shots, standard Pro1 and SEE teachings have you aim as if the shot was thicker (A/C instead of B, STC instead of STE), but I've had good and bad results with both. So it's just something I need to put more work into and do some trials while keeping track, that way I can nail down what works for me and have the confidence to reproduce it during a game.

You're talking a 1/4 ball difference. If one guy perceived A, one guy perceived B and you both made the same sweep, I don't see how the ball could go in unless there were some errors made that cancelled each other out. There are obviously some shots that can be perceived both ways but hit with different sweeps into the ball.
