Again, if I have a runner that attempts to avoid contact then, I do not have a runner that caused illegal contact.
So, I have a runner trying avoid contact-he is fine.

Joe, in the OP there was a typo. He said "the runner, who does not slide and makes
to attempt to avoid the catcher." He meant to say "the runner, who does not slide and makes
no attempt to avoid the catcher."
The runner made no attempt to avoid the catcher.
Does this help at all?
Emily Lutella would believe that it does.
