Maybe it wasn't the most perfect example, eh? I think you get the point though - there are numerous "non-calls" that could have been not called because of a misinterpretation of rules. LL's circle rule and leaving early might have been a better example. Not calling an out for passing a runner might be another rules misinterpretation if he saw it and didn't think it was against the rules.
