If this report is accurate, there was a violation expected to be enforced with a prescribed penalty (charged offensive conference); but this umpire/crew apparently made up its own penalty (runner is out).
I agree. OOO is officiating BY the book instead of WITH the book, trying to impress all with your knowledge of something obscure, and making the game about you.

This sitch is not OOO --- it's simply bad officiating.
