I think that's a chicken $hit way out of enforcing the rule. The UIC is correct in saying that it's to protect the offense by removing the force on R1 and R2 (and R3, if there is one). But this is only half of the rule.
The UIC's interpretation mentioned in this post is only a survival technique, and I wouldn't recommend it to any umpire on any level. The rule is crystal clear. Yes, you can call it after the fact, but you should call it as soon as you determine it's an IFF. If you have to correct a non-call after the fact, then so be it, but this IS correctable.

Dave I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views! Screw green, it ain't easy being blue! I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
