There are many who confuse this rule (or, these rule subsections).
I swear to God this is a true story. I was on the field next door. In one of the WA state HS tournaments in 2004 (a loser out game), Able should have led off, but Baker batted instead. 7 runs later, defense protested BOO. Umpires took all 7 runs off the board, declared three outs. Neither team said a word because the umpires, as wrong as they were, explained their "reasoning" in a satisfactory manner.
Team losing the 7 runs lost game by a run...
