Everybody has a brain fart every now and then. I had one about two weeks ago. I was in A when a bounding ball bounced over the top of the bag directly at me. As I was dodging the ball I threw my left hand out toward foul territory and immediately realized it was the wrong hand in the wrong direction, so I turned and emphatically signalled fair a number of times with my right hand. I suppose if this had been a FED game (it was not), and I had said FOUL, it would have to remain foul. Nobody said a word about my initial wrong hand wrong call.
The confusion is due to brain farts.

Now you learn from the situation, it should not happen again. This is really unavoidable.

Had another one tonight. High fastball, batter swings, pitch nicked the catcher's mitt and then hit me in the face mask. After it hit me I find my hands up signaling foul, so my brain must have thought it was also tipped. Or, it was a brain fart. I don't really know. I just know that the ruling was FOUL, because I had my hands up, no time to say anything. There was a runner on 1B at the time. No complaints, so maybe the call was not a brain fart, I honestly don't know. I just know I had my hands up.
