No they weren't. They might have reached the correct conclusion (and I'm not sure of that, either), but they used incorrect reasoning.
According to Sven, they reasoned that "it can't be assumed that the double play would have been completed and only the obtuse runner is called out." That seems to imply that the standard for calling a double play is whether a DP would have been completed without the INT. That's not correct in any code.
