2-10-4: If the error is a free throw by the wrong player or at the wrong basket, or the awarding of an unmerited free throw,
the free throw and the activity during it, other than unsporting, flagrant, intentional or technical fouls, shall be canceled.
Wow. I never thought about that before. You're literally taking the definition of a free throw (The free throw starts when the ball is at the disposal of the free thrower. The free throw ends when the try is successful, when it is certain the try will not be successful, when the try touches the floor or any player, or when the ball becomes dead) and using it to determine what "activity" should be canceled.
I can't argue with your logic, but I will question the intent and purpose of the correctable error. A foul by a rebounder should not have happened if the unmerited free throw had never occurred. That's why, for the past twenty-seven years, I would have canceled the common foul by the rebounder, that is, until your post today.
I'm with you 95% on this. Are you sure? Do you have any other citations, especially any casebook plays, that would confirm what your saying here?
