the rule 10 fix is just what it is, used often or not.
it's rare to have both partners brain fart. partners come in all shapes and sizes. if a partner needs a fix, I just help out, not pontificate the fix, and I would expect the same if I wee in a bind.
I would agree, working solo, something is wrong if invoked too often. I'm not going to insist and justify any frequency. I'll leave that to offenders and pretenders.
I read carelessly when the situation can be explained so simply. I loathe long explanations.

Rule 10 lets you do what is right when an airplane crashes into the CF fence during a play ... or when play ends and you somehow have 5 runners on 3 bases and no one can find the ball.
Obviously, considering that the ENTIRE POINT of this conversation was how to handle a situation where an umpire calls IFF in a non-IFF situation.
