Hey Ed,
I seem to remember that but not recently.

Oh, yeah. I totally forgot to mention that.
This works flawlessly for me on macOS Sierra 10.12.6, whether the folder is
open or closed – with many items in the folder or few.

set newFileName to "goofyNewFile.txt"
set destinationFolder to "~/Downloads/2018 and Before/2018/Consolidated Items
Folder/"
tell application "System Events" to set destinationFolder to POSIX path of disk
item destinationFolder
if destinationFolder does not end with "/" then set destinationFolder to
destinationFolder & "/"
set newFilePath to destinationFolder & newFileName
set shCMD to "touch " & quoted form of newFilePath & "
sleep 0.25
"
do shell script shCMD
set newFileAlias to alias POSIX file newFilePath
set destinationFolder to alias POSIX file destinationFolder
tell application "Finder"
activate
update destinationFolder
reveal newFileAlias
end tell

I seem to remember some instances where the file was selected but not scrolled
to in an open window, but I could be thinking of a different process.
