And you must have gone to the good ol' boy school of language.

The "Never try to teach..." is a old proverb / bromide that means, (in words you might understand), "If they ain't a listenin' no more y'all might 'swell shut up."

I wasn't personal; just an observation that since you had long since quit listening, I was stopping the futile effort to convince you of your error.

But, then, I guess is was foolish of me to expect someone who can't understand a simple declarative sentence ("...the obstructed runner and each other runner affected by the obstruction,will always be awarded the base or bases which would have been reached, in the umpire's judgment, had there been no obstruction...") to get subtlety.

Y'all catch mah drift there son?
