I believe it has more to do with a live ball as opposed to a batted or thrown ball as the causation of the ball becoming dead has nothing to do with the ball being batted, thrown or pitched.

Could the interpretation be clearer? Yes, but as is routinely demonstrated on these types of boards, folks don't always accept general statements or interpretations well.
