Is there a rule in the book more overwritten than 4 3(A-H)? I know the rule, and I found MY eyes glazing over when reading it a couple of minutes ago - no wonder coaches and new umpires have such a problem with it.

It is not a substitution. By definition, it is not a substitution. And yes, I know the rule books uses the term, inappropriately, IMO.
It just means a player has left the game.
It is confusing because of stuff like this. It is not that hard to understand. If you have ever seen the live line-up demonstration, you probably smacked yourself on the forehead and said, "damn, that isn't that hard" if it was presented properly.
