"...For what it's worth, there is no contradiction..." between 2.5.1 (E) and 2.16.1 (D)
So, in a FED game accoprding to 2.5.1 (E), if the batter unintentionally drops his bat into the pathway of his batted ball and the moving bat touches the ball in fair territory, an umpire should signal FAIR at that moment, even if the ball continues rolling untouched into foul territory (and stops) after deflecting off the bat?
If that's the case, then I will have to change my understanding of this particular case of FED fair/foul...
