I don't see this level much, but when I encounter something goofy like this I won't try reasoning by analogy, I'll just say, "that's not the rule, coach. Let's play ball."

Oh, of course. In game, I'm not having this level of discussion with a coach. My comment is general to quell the absurd claim - which as you point out, is not likely believed anyway.
