It is the responsability of each player and coach to be aware of the IFR. Just because umpires either fail to call the IFR when in effect, or call the IFR in error when it is not in effect makes no difference. Keep the ball live and play on.

It makes a lot of difference. Failure to call IF is one thing, which must be rectified, but to call IF when it does NOT apply puts the offense in jeopardy. The correct call is to put the BR on 1st and keep the runner on second. But to do what you say is leading to a protestable situation.
