I don't see why. If anyone actually followed the new law, the ball would travel parallel to the centre line.
View attachment 3627
The red line indicates the path of the ball's nearpoint to the opposing hooker. Whilst the amount of ball available indeed gets less the closer it gets to him, nonetheless under the old law the ball on its angled feed does have more of it available on the oppo hooker's side of the mid line until the point where only its point is on the midline.
when the point of the ball is only ever on the midline it is always further from the oppo hooker until the place where under the old laws it would have met it
