That matters? Why?

In FP, where you people insist on have a "live ball" game (which it really isn't),

I agree, if by "expeditious manner" you mean time to determine no appeal is in the offing.
However, you based your original reply on the use of the words "passed" and "returned" in the rules. The meanings of those words do not change with time, so if the appeal is not made quickly, what did the runner do that invalidates the appeal made after the coach yells, ball thrown around, etc. (assuming we are talking that inconveniently live-ball game)?
