In either case, Camron, the officials inadvertently set aside a rule. Whether they knew the rule but didn't get the correct info, or they forgot that you shoot free throws at 7 fouls, they "inadvertently set aside a rule", which resulted in one of the 5 infamous errors.
So while I agree with you that Nevada overstated the case a bit, I think he's correct in saying that not applying the rule correctly (which is what happened in the interp) is EXACTLY why 2-10 exists.
