No, that's not what I'm saying at all. You missed the context. 

I'm talking about Chan Faunce's alternative fire arcs again, the ones
that are offset 30 degrees compared to the standard set (and which
therefore don't *have* any (F) or (A) arcs, but which have (S) and (P)
arcs facing directly right and directly left respectively).

What I am saying is that even if you use Chan Faunce's offset fire
arcs, you still have the *standard* (A) arc as your blind spot. It
partly overlaps the two rear-facing offset arcs, so those two arcs -
the OFFSET "AP" and "AS" arcs - get truncated.
