OK, but how do you know that's the intent, as opposed to my idea about distinguishing live-ball from dead-ball infractions?

In particular, how do you explain the ruling in 10.2.1A (b) (posted above) according to which it's "too late" to penalize A1? If the intent of the rule were to "penalize the proper player," presumably we should assess a foul on A1.
