My original post in this thread was a scholarly attempt to answer your original question and that being:
"What distinguishes a "simultaneous free-throw violation" from a "double violation"? That there is no team control in 6.4.3 Situation B but there is team control in 9.1.6 Situation A (I take "while releasing the ball" to mean 'hasn't released it yet')? Is this a distinction without a difference?"
That is how the words "false" and "simultaneous" are used in the rules and casebook plays/approved rulings. Everybody seemed to be getting hung up on these two words and were using them incorrectly.

The current language is inconsistent. They just need to fix it. I merely proposed some language which parallels other language already effectively in use - just an efficient way to think about it. Not necessarily the only way. I'm all ears to other ways.

First, I edited my post that you quoted above, and changed the word "false" to "double." I do not know why I was refering to the word "false." But that is just poor editing on my part.
Second, the language in the rules books and casebook plays/approved rulings is clear. Repeating what I said in my first post: "Double" refers to infractions of the rules by the same team within a specified time period. The infractions must be either fouls or violations but not a mixture of both. And, "simultaneous" refers to infractions by both teams within a specified time period. The infractions must be either fouls or violations but not a mixture of both.
It is obvious that when NFHS Casebook R6.S4.A3, Situation B and NFHS 2002-03 Rules Interpretation Situation 15 were written, the word "double" was incorrectly used instead of "simultaneous." Even though the editing of these two plays was poor, the rulings are correct.
No changes need to be made in the rules, just more accurate use of the language needs to be used by all officials including the people at the NFHS when it comes to writing casebook plays.
