No, I was saying the the rule about it being an IP for failure to wipe off pertains to licking the fingers. Otherwise, the rule is to not apply the foreign substance to the ball. If a pitcher picks up a handful of dirt, tosses it aside, and does not wipe the hand before touching the ball, you have to decide whether that is a violation. Whereas, if a pitcher licks the fingers, does not wipe them off, and them goes to the ball, there is a direct rule that declares that an IP. It is a stupid rule (IMO), but there it is.
