D.A.:
You give your obstruction "rulings" with such enthusiasm -- and so colorfully.
Unfortunately, many of them are wrong.
You're better off when you discuss matters of philsophy or mechanics, where opinions count -- and may differ.
Obstruction (current practice) is quite specific and has been explained correctly in three posts already: Jim Porter's and mine.
This is not a matter of opinion, other than authoritative opinion, which Jim and I have paraphrased from many sources, including the JEA, J/R, Baseball By the Rules, Make the Right Call, and Knotty Problems.
Please don't confuse the issue.
A so-called "Devil's Advocate" has no business arguing that in a Base 10 number system, 2 plus 2 isn't four. Rather, you should argue we ought to change to Base Two.
