To a degree, this is part of the OBR as well. Remember the WS or playoff game some time ago. Typical.. R1, 3-1 or such, runner TOOK off, and U2 called him OUT on the steal. Runner took a step off the base, got TAGGED, meanwhile, U2 learns that pitch was BALL 4.
They let Runner stay.. I think game even got protested. (Anyone remember this one).

It recognizes that both the umpires and the particiapants are amateurs, that mistakes will be made, and that they should be rectified "fairly," when possible.
It's one of the embodiments of the CS&FP principle.
