MJT, based on 2-30-10, B12 is a substitute, a non-player. Why is it not a non-player foul and why isn't the penalty IS?

First off, let's throw out the reference 3-7-4. I think we can all agree it doesn't apply.
After reading 2-16-2e, I would have to answer this question false. 2-16-2e basically defines illegal participation as NOT a nonplayer foul and 9-6-4a now says "It is illegal participation when any player, replaced player or substitute enters during a down".
So illegal participation is not a nonplayer foul even though it can be committed by what's defined as a "nonplayer". Clear as mud!!
