I'm pretty sure you didn't answer my question there. I'm asking how to call this in the real world. In the real world do I have to make a judgment A or B. I don't think so, I think the standard is rather different. I think that after a train wreck the impedance has to be a new impedance not the same general impedance. A fielder who reaches for the ball or just doesn't get out of the way fast enough is not obstructing in my mind. They already impeded with the ball and this is still that impedance with the ball playing out.
