Honestly, it wouldn't be the first time that has happened in my experience. These "qualified rules interpreters" have been known to miss one every now and then.

Go ahead and ask him what happens when a pitcher licks her fingers as she's looking at the catcher for the signal, then brings her hands together without wiping her fingers, then when the PU calls and signals an Illegal Pitch, she steps off the plate backwards with either foot.
