Yes, we can (and have) added to the test scenario to expand the question to various what ifs and fairness issues and possibly a hole in the rule book.
But, way back before I indulged myself by participating in the what ifs, I pointed out that as a test question, it was not that complicated, and the answer was clear, and all the unanswered vagueness in the question's scenario made no difference whatsoever to the call.
Was IF called? Who cares? Call is the same (maybe the rule reference is different in the event of a protest, but the call is the came).
Was the ball caught? Who cares? Call is the same (same maybe as above).
Was the fly ball over foul territory? Who cares? Call is the same.
Now, admitedly, greymule's original post took no issue with the call; he was raising the fairness question, which may or may not exist in the question's scenario. For example, it does NOT exist if the catch was made, since the defense can remove the run by proper appeal.
