then why not 14 pool? you can achieve the same goal without cuting on drone. if you get what i mean. you need to stop making drone in order to throw down the pool. and terran wall in can be alot of things. reactor hellion expand and 1 rax FE is the most common in TvZ. at least in my ladder games. and they dont make the CC outside so that you can snipe it. make in base, fly out, move wif a bunch of marine and make new bunker wall........right?
You say 14 pool.. i go 10 pool 3 pair lings and all drone to 18 as my start. Wall in can be a lot of things, true but the lings is also use to scout what type of wall-ins as well. Factory wall in so helion can go harass the zerg mineral lines.

and you cant judge that its an all in or in base 1 rax FE econ game. if you see reactor factory as wall, it might be a CC behind, it might be 2 more rax hiding marauders for hellion marauder all in.
if its a 1 rax, it might be cloak shee or just a simple 2 rax 1 fact siege contain.
I wonder which part you didnt read .. the overseer or the infiltrator ? Common Zerg people mistake that they never tech up to lair first before muster roach. Know this, Terren going for factory is equavelent of Zerg lair upgrade. Why i want to muster something that i know what is the next terren move? Even making 2 rax with reactor require time and gas so if terren can get 2 rax and reactor mean they use 400m/100g. Lair first get overseer since it cost 50m/50g. i doubt terren early rush since i have speedlings to defend.
i usually make 2 worker and 1 speedlings every 3 larva spawn. Zerg is heavy gas user so chepo is minerals.

maybe you meant a 12 pool into 18 hatch? then off 2 base you can catch up wif earlier queen for inject. but then early 2 base expo wif queens normally means a later lair. when your overseer went in to scout, it might be abit too late for a few timings.
My build is different .. i dont follow the 12 pool or 14 pool or think much about getting fast minerals at the start of the game. Spawning pool open up all tech so if i go 12 or 14 pool, the time to build is the one holding me back. Getting mineral is not cause you only have 3 larva to change so if worker it cost only 150m which can be farm faster. If a Zelot comes in my base and i have only drone with a half done spawing pool.. i would lose a lot on economy cause of drone and after pool complete, need time to build lings .. By this time my drone is either all dead or just have less. Same thing as protoss cannon cheese, i saw protoss player try to cheese me but i have lings to take out his pylon and probe, he cant finish the cannon cause he is waiting for the forge. So after that i rush him cause i calculate that he need 2 pylon, 1 forge and at least 150m for cannon to start the cheese which i can get 5 pair of lings equal to 1 cannon and 1 pylon.
