Once again, the people who write these rules do not understand "steal". Advancing on an errant throw is NOT stealing. There is a play made on the runner. What they mean is that the runner may only advance to home by action of the batter.

"10.08 A stolen base shall be credited to a runner whenever he advances one base unaided by a hit, a putout, an error, a force out, a fielder's choice, a passed ball, a wild pitch or a balk, subject to the following:"

The rules writers should learn what a stolen base is.
