Batting out of order

Before I read that, I thought that once it was brought up either by the defense or offense you would be obligated to make it correct.

That was our reasoning after discussing with both coaches. The at bat was over, offensive coach came to the plate with his lineup card in hand, when defensive coach came out to see what discussion was about he was advised that we have a BOO and he said "I know, but I'll take the play, I'm not appealing it". That pretty much ended our discussion.
