Nope. If RED is minding its business in the RED courtyard in the last 20 (for whatever reason), and BLUE drives into RED, BLUE should get a G11, because it's trying to create a G28 foul that otherwise wouldn't have occurred.
Gary's interpretation is one possible fix, but I'd want it spelled out in the rule or a Q&A, because right now G28 only specifies contact, with no clear mention whatsoever of who initiates it. Yes, you can read "contact" as being an intentional action, but you can also read it more like "comes in contact with" something that happens with no respect to intention.
Example: If I poke you with my finger, I contact you with my finger. But you also contact me through my finger.
So I think it's something to bring up in Q&A and have clarified and addressed.
