part of a perfect game is the team aspect, your team needs to score for you to win the game, if you throw 11 perfect innings and your team scores zero you dont get a perfect game either....really a trivial point
i worry about rules that impact winning or losing a game versus trophy names for accomplishments.
if you dont field your position as a pitcher and make an error you lose a perfect game....not allowing a runner to score from 2nd base with no outs would be your job since your team didnt score for you..part of the team aspect.
your example out of all the issues in baseball to worry about seems marginal even from a purist standpoint
