I concur - checked my old version of Melee, and it's in there.

I will also add that it is realistic. There are entire schools of martial arts that revolve around using space as a defensive tool. It is very difficult for someone to hit you with their magic Sword of Unavoidable Death if you have managed to successfully create some space [i.e. the Disengage]. That is intentional.

Unintentional is being FORCED back, which is also the goal of a number of martial arts combat skill sets. The force unto itself is not critical - it is to where you are forced by the opponent who is clearly working an advantage.

Long story short - I have edited both my copy of Melee and ITL-L [p.118].

Thanks for the thoughtful discourse!
