Agreed.
As Gordon says, in the heat of a race or even qualy, with cars side by side, it is possible to miss a flag or a light - I had concerns on Saturday in the rain and spray at Donington that I might have missed one that is positioned way to the right as you climb up from the Old Hairpin, as I was side by side (to the left) of another car, as there was a yellow there next time round.....but if I'd been reported I'd have held my hands up.
For my 2p, light boxes that are immediately adjacent to the track are useful - but a waved flag (particularly some distance from trackside) is much more likely to catch the eye - you see the movement - and of course an experienced marshal conveys a whole lot of information concerning the severity of the incident by the manner in which the flag is displayed
