Is inadvertant contact on a force still interference?

Matt,

The 8-4-2b language you cite has nothing to do with the FPSR and applies to ANY play in a FED game.

The FPSR requirements begin a little later with the phrase:

...or, on a force play...

Pretty black and white.

Then tell me, in that text regarding a runner not being required to slide, where contact with a fielder is always illegal.
