Agreed, but don't ignore the start of L46B "except when declarer’s
different intention is incontrovertible."  If that were the case, it's 
hard to believe the Director would have been called, but some defenders 
are jerks who try to take undue advantage.

Basically the Director has to decide whether declarer a) didn't notice 
that LHO had ruffed, or b) noticed and fully intended to overruff, but 
the oral instruction "came out wrong."  Good luck!
