That's an odd comment... I suspect that's sarcasm, but if it is, you're still missing the point.
The altering of the basepath must be CAUSED BY the fielder in the path without the ball. Your scenario, the altering of the basepath had nothing at all to do with that fielder, and I think you know that.
