Yes, if you catch an object the correct number of beats later then I would accept that as a counting method. My problem comes, as you said, when people record a number of catches that isn't a multiple of the period. For example, someone does db97531, followed by a throw at the same height as a typical d and then collects and records it as 8 catches. How can they prove that the last throw was a d when it had no beats after it? They could have thrown it much lower and just called it a d.
