Double First Base

I hope we can all agree about the ruling asked in the original post by SRW. In fact, I think he even agrees with the ruling. That being said, the rule book is still worded incorrectly. I said it before, and will say it again - read the rule, think about it, figure out what the intent is, and you'll be fine. If the wording of a rule clearly contradicts itself, as this one does, then there must be a mistake somewhere. We all have to realize that the rules are written by real people, and sometimes what makes sense to them while writing the rule, doesn't really add up. This question is a perfect case in point.
