If the ball was dead at the moment of contact, then when the ball became dead it was over fair territory. Nothing that happened to it after that matters. I realize it's a fairly easy sell if it was fouled straight off into the fence to say it was going to be foul anyway. But I just don't see how that can be part of how you correct it in general because some foul balls might have ended up fair if played differently.
