Well that's not exactly right either. You can J/H over a fielder
lying on the ground (prone and supine...re-learned that vocabulary on another board)
8.4.2A
But this still leave to the umpire whether the runner D/J/H and whether he did so "over" the fielder. I think I know the purpose of 8-4-2 and support its presents and enforcement, but not its OO (ab)use.
