Perhaps.
But that would conflict with how the term "intentionally dropped" is used in both the rule book or case play. There, an "intentionally dropped" ball is one that the fielder must actually touch, then purposely drop or guide to the ground in effort to decieve the runners and gain "unearned" outs.
Going off subject a bit...
How many "intentionally dropped" balls have you ever had to call? Me, I can recall only one in my career.
Kind of odd that there is much ado about possibly one of the least invoked rules in the game.
