Yeah, there are a few easy cases that after awhile, we all learn to notice. One case that comes to mind is the F2L algorithm where the corner is in place and the edge needs to be flipped. If there are three oriented edges in the last layer, it's very easy to position the last layer so that all edges are oriented for the OLL.
I checked on strangepuzzle and couldn't find any videos of Marcus Stuhr though... does he have a website where he posts videos and such things?
