The case does say F3 is required to appeal the missed base. I'm not certain what the case is trying to tell us. There is no accidental appeal using Fed Rules. I agree on the one hand the case suggests an accidental appeal was made, however in the end it says F3 must appeal. It does seem contradicting unless I'm missing something.
