That's true. That's why you tell the holder that he needs to throw the ball through the end zone on a bad snap on 3rd down. As a coach, you have time to tell him that when the offense is taking the first down snap and then lining up to spike it on second down. You might not have time to properly instruct him when sending the kicking team out there on first down.
That's another reason, along with the way practice sessions work, to not have your QB as your holder.
