That's my point...
First, I'm not a coach. I am an umpire but my credentials are not important.
Honestly, that call would take brass ones (although you wouldn't have them for long after the call).
I absolutely agree that we should enforce all of the rules, like them or not. However, if I'm going to call this one, R2 had better have missed third base by a lot --- if I'm the only one who saw it, I'm not giving the accidental appeal. Frankly, the action of falling onto the base is probably not understood to be an accidental appeal by 99% of the people involved in the game.
So, in the words of many before me, "Don't go looking for boogers."
