IOW if on a gb the SS or 2B is taking the fielder's choice at 1b rather than going for the lead runner it is probably because of a H&R, with the exception of a slowly hit ball.

Are you saying that most of the time a runner makes second on GB to 4 or 6 then the hit and run was on even though "runner goes" isn't mentioned in the play by paly or shown in the animation? That makes sense from the standpoint that hit and run results can't be determined from available data and is aleady in included in SB, CS, runners taking an extra base, and double plays.
if so then there remains a peculiarity in that the animation occasionally shows a runner starting, although rarely, and more often for the opposition than for my team.
