I think many, myself included, just get comfortable with pulling the trigger very soon after we 'know' that the cue line is correct & that comes from aiming & looking at the OB.
If one is more of a going down exactly on line then I THINK one might be more apt to be an OB last type.
CJ basically was/is not aiming but merely aligning center to center or center to edge & then moving the CB over with the TOI to get the cut angle.
The alignment does not have to be extremely precise as aiming seems to be... as TOI is a dynamic method dependent on tip placement on the CB & speed of stroke.
CJ's experience may have allowed him to evolve to what he says.
I found that I had much better control of the speed for the TOI shot when I was looking at the OB for the forward stroke.
Again, what I am saying is just food for thought.
All Best Wishes for ALL.
