Hmmm . . . interesting. I agree, and yet this isn't totally different from a previous post about the official handing a throw-in to the wrong team. The majority of respondents, as I recall, argued in favor of following the book to the letter, rather than doing "the right thing" (i.e., bringing the ball back for a do-over). Granted, the ball hitting the official's arm is not an "error" per se, as is the wrong inbounder situation, but the book may still cover both situations in a way that most people feel isn't really the fair solution. Interesting parallel, anyway.
