That was my point on the test question.

Anyway, regarding the IFR, why not have it stated dirt simple: fewer than 2 outs and a force at 3rd.

That would work for the limited number of people who actually know what a force out is. To too many, that would include a single runner on third who left early on the infield fly.

Sad, but true...

I perfectly understood the point you were making in the test question and agree completely. Just as it would be a true statement to say: He that believeth (and is baptized) shall be saved, even though salvation comes by faith alone, apart from baptism. Another example would be: If one applies for and is accepted into UCLA (and takes a room in the dorm) he or she will be a student. The statement is true even though one does not need to take a room in the dormitory to be a student at UCLA.

Your dirt simple IFR makes a lot of sense. I'd like to see it rewritten that way. ...Al

Well, now...that depends on whether you are a pre-, post-, or a-millennialist.
