I didn't think he was inventing anything ... just perhaps not completely explaining his meaning.
Your reading is more charitable than mine. I suppose I've seen too many people post that something is "not a baseball play" and a violation of "common sense," so they're going to get an out or start awarding bases.

The good news is that nobody has posted that the runner getting hit in the back counts as INT.
