I read further in the case book, as you suggested, but could not find where it disallowed the "accidental appeal." Could you please give me the situation number?
Sorry, but my books are away for the winter. Try 3 or four pages later, on the right hand side of the page. I might get ambitious enough to pull them out.

Also, I think there's a difference between calling a rule that we don't like (we should do so) and enforcing a case play that's in clear contradiction to the rule book (we should use the rule book). I recognize that sometimes the distinction isn't clear, but I think it is clear in this instance.
