Thus Schrodinger does indeed apply.

The difference is that in Camron's play, A was clearly the last to touch before the ball went to the BC so it's clearly a violation.
In your play B was the last to touch the ball in the FC (I recognize that's not the specific criterion involved in the rule), so the only way to get the violation on A is to have this "simultaneous last / first touch" issue.
