you think during a game someone will argue and break out some slides?

No, but if they are told at a clinic that's being conducted by the ruling organization that the rule requires the BR to run in the lane at all times, who are they going to believe? The unrecognizable umpire with the actual correct ruling? Or the clinician, who was sent by the ruling body to dispel all rumors and misconceptions about the rules?

If you're an umpire, you know exactly what kind of mess this will create. Hell, we have our hands full with enough bogus rule interpretations that DIDN'T come from the ruling organization.
