Dropped 3rd Strike

Rule 8-1-b-2 says "There are two outs and first base is occupied". But Scott said that with two outs first base can be occupied or unoccupied. I don't see that in the rule book. Am I missing something?
Thanks!

It's not you that is missing something, it's the book. Many of us have known about this "hole" for a while, but we have no pipeline to get it corrected.

wrt Scott's "I have often wondered why the rules gurus don't call it "an uncaught third strike." ", I guess that means I'm not a guru as I switched to U3K about a year ago. But then I don't call it "uncaught third strike" because I usually can't type that.
