11.15.1 simply says: A batter is awarded first base when a pitched ball, neither swung at nor called a strike, is entirely within the batter's box and it strikes the batter or her clothing. no attempt to avoid being hit by the pitch is required; however, the batter may not obviously try to get hit by the pitch.
There is no quirk. There is no mention of a HBP award without getting hit by the ball. Not sure what is being referred to in the article.
