I completely disagree with your interpretation of that rule. The key word in that rule is "active". If your arm isn't moving and happens to be struck by a ball I don't see how it violates that rule. Again, my interpretation also could be wrong, but my point is make sure your interpretation is correct before advertising it as so.
