Jeff,
It is a rare day indeed when you need to be corrected.
May I direct your attention to Article 24:
"All boules thrown contrary to the rules are dead"...including "a boule played from a circle other than that from which the cochonnet was thrown".
Perhaps the problem is that the rules do not provide for a specific penalty for failure to erase previous circles.
In every case, the rules are clear that there is no excuse for playing from the wrong circle. If there is any confusion, one needs only to ask the opposition to confirm the correct circles location.
I suppose that the contentious reaction of a person when he sees his boule being removed and called dead is because it "appears" that the call looks as though his opponent was lying in wait and is capitalising on an error that could easily have been corrected before the boule was thrown.
In the event that you find yourself in a contentious game, however, one where the opponent is whinning about feet out of the circle or some such thing, I find that the call has a way of leveling the playing field...
