Except that it only works for non-elves. Other elves cannot see his ears twitch. Neither can enemies who know about elves.
Except that it only works for those within 5 squares. Allies outside 5 squares, even sharp eyed ones, cannot see the elves ears twitch.
This is the problem with trying to explain or rationalize an illogical ability. There is no explanation that is satisfactory. The ability exists because a designer thought it was cool and for no other reason.
