[Official] Noah Joiner 3x3 single: DNF (aka how to suck at life)

I'm probably missing something here... but why not just do D's? Or Uw's?

Consider this scramble:
D2 R U2 F2 R B2 R' B2 U2 R D2 L' B' L' D B2 U' F D2 B' R' D'

The white cross is solved, but around the wrong center. This can be solved with M E M' E' and then aligning the cross.
 
Oooooooooooohhh. Is that effectively the same as doing something like: (U' D) L R' (F B') ...?

Edit: Got it. Thanks, guysensei.

I got ninja'd...
Yeah it's similar in effect but nicer to execute. Plus lookahead to first pair is super easy since no other pieces shift positions.
