That makes for 3 things you have to do when you get over your ball. By aligning my ball with my intended line before I step up to the ball. I only have 2 things left to do. Align the face of my putter to the line one the ball. then make the correct length stroke. Seems pretty simple to me. If you have 3 things to do, and I only have 2 things to do only over the ball. YOU have 1 more thing to get wrong than I do. Odds are in my favor I'd say. And YES, I still have to make a good stroke if I want the ball to go in the cup.
That's exactly what I've given up trying to explain.
