Huh?!?!
I don't know who was delivering your FED rules lecture, but their advice was simply wrong.
Under FED, an obstructed runner always gets at least one base beyond his position at the time of Obstruction. Whether he was attempting to advance or not is not relevant to this minimum award.

Correct (more or less): OBR Type A Obstruction is an immediate dead ball. Under FED, any obstruction is a "delayed dead" ball (per FED terminology).
