With due respect to Jim (and he's due a LOT), I've inferred over the last 3-5 years that the rules committees at the highest levels of amateur and professional baseball, while finding his opinions worth considering, don't hold them in the same regard as "internet umpires" and his paying customers do, and certainly don't think he has the final word on anything.
