Violations involving the FLEX batting unreported are different from BOO, and you know it (but are pretending not to).

That just about covers all of your horrible complications, doesn't it.
The questions were mostly rhetorical to make a point. YOU may know the answers. It may all seem so simple to YOU. But I assure you that there are plenty of umpires and coaches who don't share your knowledge. You are in the vast minority.

I don't have to "pretend" that it's complicated. All the evidence suggests that it IS.
