Hi John, Yes it can be avoided--but the idea is to get to A4 with as short a path as possible. The more "steps" in between the more possibilites for error exist. f2 and b1 offer this with an A4 fork. F3 doesn't, nor does any other method that I know about--if someone can find one I'll jump on that band wagon. KISS principle in action!
