OG,
I do not think you have really missed anything. Pin to PAP helps to determine flare potential. BUT...in this case, you really have to understand the core position with this kind of layout. Putting the core in the negative side of the ball, the block would literally have to "flip over" to get back onto the strong side of the ball. Even if you, lets say, put the pin at 3 3/8 (leverage), but put the MB on the negative side, technically the core is close to laying down completly sideways depending on PAP which means to become strong again, the core has to stand itself up and flip over. So, in other words, the block flipping over would increase flare (which is very unlikely), but since it is in a very weak position, flare potential is limited.
