this is simply a "Words mean things" issue. You used the word abandonment, and Tim {correctly so} pointed out that this was an incorrect word for your situation. It is the same as calling a runner out for "Obstruction" or a fielder for "Interference" By simply putting the wrong word you post changed from right to wrong. Even though the meaning of what you "thought" you were saying didn't change.
