Most officials are not making the argument you are. Most officials agree that I have come in contact to call what happen first. I have yet other than you on this site to make such an argument that we must go with your interpretation of the rule. So this is not a hard issue with the people I have come in contact with. And the only situation I have ever heard someone to follow is you. I do not think I have to worry about this being an issue. If it is I am sure the Referee would be expected to not allow this to happen when something clearly happen first. Or that official that insisted to not follow the rules might not be working in that league or as many games in the future.
