Whether, in my opinion, I agree with the interpretation, it is a terrible way to justify a call. I would almost expect it to come out of the mouth of a coach, not an ASA test creator.
If you are referring to the word "forced", I used that in the context of the play to avoid the "but if he didn't have to run, doing so could be an act of interference" bullshit that comes around from the third-world sect.
