I understand the rule JR - I was pointing out that the situations Stanmi cited are not the same. The reason you ignore the plane violation is that if you paid attention to it, you help the offending team. They get the stoppage and force their opponents to inbound. So the rule says to ignore it, and with excellent reasoning.
While I agree that you could choose to ignore the lane violation, it is not the same situation because the clock is already stopped and you can simply award more FTs via the tech, and give the ball to the offense automatically instead of to the defense. This is a very different scenario than the plane violation with running clock.
