Here is the rule, and I do not see the part where it says an advantage has to be gained by the offensive player?

You do not see the advantange/Disadvantage statement in THIS rule, because it applies to ALL rules. Every rule in the book should have the the ad/disad principle applied to it. Some rules have a more obvious advantage/disadvantage tone to them (like travelling), this is one that is less obvious.
This is the pitfall of being a fan and not an official. You can not pluck one rule out of the book, read it, and instantly assume you know how that rule should be called. Just like I could not pull out a chiltons book, read the section on how to screw on an oil filter and instantly be all knowing of oil changes. No one this board presumes that we are experts in your line of work, give us the same respect and don't assume you know how to ref.
I think it just pisses fans off that refs have no care or desire who wins.
