The purpose of the play is irrelevent as to why it's in the casebook. The reason it's in there is because someone on the NF rules committee had it happen in a game and didn't know what to do, so he made up a specific penalty in case it happened to him again, so he could say "AHA, Gotcha". This is how most cases get into the book.

Personally, I think it's easier to understand than the correctible error litany.
Next time I see Juulie, I'll explain the infield fly rule to her, with pictures and everything!
