It is easy to understand, but from the posts it sounds like it can be difficult to apply--perhaps it depends more heavily on personal judgement than some rules? Maybe it is more cut-and-dried whether a ball is fair or foul, whether a runner did or did not arrive at a base before the ball, etc., than whether something a runner did while running bases with a defender in the vicinity without the ball was something other than what she would ordinarily have done in running bases?
