The other is the "fairness" of the ASA ruling in the various expanded scenarios. You have a point. But, the rulebook at this point is what it is on this play.

So... a ball that WOULD HAVE BEEN foul (however you wish to describe it) had it been either caught or allowed to land
I know, but I can't just let this go... maybe I'm OCD or something... if it was caught, it would not be foul.
