It was not a boolian construct. It is not an IF-THEN-ELSE programming statement. I was an English-language statement.
Reverse the statement into a question: "If a car is exceeding the speed limit and it is red, is it speeding?"
Yes or no?

Yes... the answer is in the question (if a car is exceeding the speed limit...is it speeding?) nothing else; such as the color, matters for we are told the car was exceeding the speed limit so the statement is true.
Now, speaking U-Trip why is an infield fly rule explained the way it is? Why not just say if a base runner is on 1st and a base runner is on 2nd with less than two outs, etc. since bases being loaded always includes a runner on 1st and 2nd and there's no rule that says if bases are loaded it voids an infield fly rule? ...Al
