I agree wholeheartedly, Peter, that many responses received from sources such as WUA, MLB.com, and perhaps even PBUC are answers that will be "politically correct" answers as per the written rules. They will not take into consideration the CSFP factor of applying that rule, although the MLB umpires usuarlly will.
Still, they remain our sources of at least learning what is intended by the rule for those areas of "unaddressed situations" that readily seem to be discovered.
Just my opinion,
