Peter,
Im not sure if you are stating that rules have more faith in the umpires than you or that the rule has ambiguity built
into it.
How do you train a batter to create "JUST ENOUGH" interference to cause interference, but "NOT ENOUGH" to prevent an out, so that they can gain an easy run. Is that possible?
Given all things equal though, the rules state that if the offense, which is what I think you meant, interfers, and a out is recorded. Then they indeed DID NOT interfer. And if they did not interfer, how are they gaining an advantage?
Now if the umpire blows the call. Well is that any different than blowing the call at first and having that same runner score the go ahead or game winning run?
Unforunately, until human beings no longer play or officiate this game, we are always going to have errors.
This say me.
