This reminds me of a discussion I heard about at a clinic (I was not umpiring at that time).
There was a big discussion about a batted ball that hits a batter who is still in the box.
Everyone agreed the call is a foul ball. The argument was over where in the rules it said this, because they must all be wrong if they call it since it isn't in the book.
Finally, an out of state umpire who was attending chimed in. "Read the definition of a foul ball." Sure enough Rule 1 Foul Ball F (using the 2014 book) pretty much covers it.
