The shorthanded rule has always excluded ejections; because they reflect serious situations. Shorthanded was invented to avoid small roster teams forfeiting for injuries or family emergencies.

People tend to forget that the shorthanded rule hasn't been around that long. If there were no subs and you need to fill a slot, the game was over regardless of the reason. You know, back when the game was played for the purpose of competition.

It is like dealing with children with little discipline. Give them one thing, they want another and then another one of those, and then something bigger, then something the kid next store doesn't have, etc., etc., etc...... and they pout and whine and cry until they get what they want.
