Well, yes Glen, TASO is, after all, the TEXAS Association of Sports Officials.

You will find NFHS test do have a lot of questions that ask one thing and mean another.

Like this one:

Catcher unintentionally blocks the plate, which impedes a runners attempt to score. Umpire rules "no violation" since it was not intentional.

This could go either way. If catcher had the ball she is allowed to block, if she was not in possession of the ball, then there is a violation.

I don't necessarily agree with you on this one being able to go both ways, since I see this as asking about the necessity of "intent." Intent is not necessary to fulfill the obstruction rule.
