I never said that the ruling or way that we umpire the situation is the same as an IFF, but rather the result is the same. If both teams were to play with a proper understanding of the IFF rule then on an uncaught IFF we would have the BR out and runners staying put. If we have an intentionally dropped line drive BR will be out and runners are put back where they started. Therefore the result is the same. The point of the rule is to prevent cheap double plays.
the mistake I did make, however, was that the dropped LD can occur with only a runner on 1st while IFF cannot.
