The point of me taking this route was to see how many would be so focused on the issue of missing 2B, they may overlook the point that to regain the proper order of touching the bases, the runner failed to complete the return to tough the initial base involved in the violation.

Which may be why BB espoused the "theory" of LTB. But they didn't think things through. Luckily, we have, in both codes, a rare occurrence.
