If it was indeed Hal the Referee, who can say the he was correct or even that the MLB umpire he asked was correct? And who can vouch for the accuracy of Knotty Problems or any of a number of similar books?

2006 BRD discusses both possibilities. I would add that scoring the run appears to be more practical than the theoretical alternative of erasing the run. Someone brighter than me may explain when one choice is favored over the other.
