Kenbunshoku Haki allows a person to predict the moves of the opponent, as in to see them happen BEFORE they actually do and prepare in advance. These are not reflexes. A reflex is the time it takes a person to react to an attack that has ALREADY BEEN performed.

In fact I don't really think it's going to be that hard to notice since the haki Enel and the Gorgon sisters used was pretty much obvious to anyone's eyes. Obviously the anime/manga won't distinguish between the two everytime but we will surely notice it from time to time.

Basically, what I'm trying to get through here is that Kenbunshoku Haki is not useless no matter how you put it.
