Sighting in the Middle of SD Crisis

I know at the range for accuracy we focus on the front sight. For good reason: it works. Yet, how in the middle of a Self-Defense crisis - a perp 8 or 10 yards away all set to kill you - could anyone possibly put him as a secondary focus while using the front sight as the primary one.

Also, would it be wise to lose track of him or his actions? One must be assured he is in fact about to attack lethally. I know in some cases it would be unmistakable, but in others, seems you could miss cues from him that perhaps you were being hasty etc., or mistaking his gesture (he quickly pulls out an object from his pocket you assume will be a gun and its: a cell phone! Surprise! - meanwhile, you're staring at the front sight in preparation for your shot.

So, from any who've been a real SD encounter, what was the focus on, the front sight or the perp?
