All I want to do is understand how to apply certain rules in various situations. The posts have partly answered my questions but are still conflicting and confusing.
The FED book apparently contradicts itself, or is at best very ambiguous. The proof is that several obviously knowledgeable umpires would rule differently on certain variations of the play I brought up.
I thought the reference to the SCOTUS might lighten things up a bit, that's all.

Look, ANYONE who registers gets to post "Just my opinion." There will ALWAYS be conflicting answers on any subject of merit.
Freix, for example, is a particularly annoying person because he doesn't understand baseball -- but thinks he does.
My resume is available. I would suggest you choose between a JV official (like Freix) and someone who's been writing on the rules for a quarter of a century.
Take it or leave it: I've done my last word on this subject. Hell, it's something any first-year official knows, and the language of FED is perfectly plain.
