So you would change 2 numbers where clearly ONLY 1 was allowed without ANY penalty? I don't see how this is an intentions versus straight ignoring 2 rules. I would say my opinion, but unfortunately I am backed by the specific rules here.

Do what you want. You are backed by the letter of the rule.
I'm not going to punish a coach for choosing the quickest route to keeping his player in the game when it's the very scenario they made the exception for.
