If it is written in the case play book, it's an official interpretation. ASA doesn't include the case play book because they would rather sell it separately and make even more money rather than print it within the book or at least supply it when umpires pay a ridiculous $15 + per rule book.

The case play does not support the ruling, either. For that matter, the rule book specifically allows for the CR to be used for the FLEX in the given instant. Only the rule clarification supports the test response and I don't have a problem with the ruling, but if given the opportunity, the rules should support the desired effect.

This is why there is a proposed rule change in the works.
