Shouldn't the ruling be based solely on the situation?

Not necessarily. The case book is not just "story problems" with answers. They also use the case book as a place to explain their philosophy on things. And so you will find rulings that touch on more than just the specific play under discussion.
But Bob is right. You still have to consider the scope in which the ruling is made, which invariable includes an implied "nothing else is going on."
