The only other legitimate argument I have heard goes something like - the reason it is dead the second the umpire yells foul is that it is possible that the ball will be blown back fair - and in such cases, we are not allowing the batter to run bases - he has to live with the foul call and continue batting. It would not be fair to allow only the defense to continue playing to it's advantage.
I don't BUY it ... but I've HEARD it.
