I understand exactly why provision is in place, its the same reason why force play occupied of 1st less than 2 you have the uncaught 3rd strike (often referred to as dropped 3rd), so that with bases loaded and nobody out C doesnt drop 3rd strike step on home throw to 3B throw to 2B for easy triple play.
My point is that once the call is made the runners dont have to go they go at their own risk, so in the scenario that happened where the IF call WAS made, what if the runners didnt go and the defense plays the play out just like the offense did gets a double or triple play and asks the umpires to reconsider whether or not it was an IF fly?
