I guess that makes sense. But it's entirely conceivable that the rule book ruling could actually penalize the offense.

For example, BR takes off for first on an uncaught third strike, and F2's throw eludes F3, heading for DBT beyond the temporary outfield fence that only extends to the foul line. F9 throws her glove at the ball to stop it from rolling beyond the fence, and is able to hit the ball as the BR rounds second. F9 retrieves the ball, and eventually throws out the BR attempting to score.

If the ruling is indeed two bases from the time of the throw, then the BR's out stands. But if it's from when the detached glove contacts the ball, the BR is allowed to score.

Oh well......
