I guess I don't understand "earned run"..  The Atlanta run scored on a throwing error.  What does the next AB have to do with it?

If they hadn’t ruled it a hit, the run would have been unearned, because the inning would have assumed to have ended without the error.

That’s the rule, but I don’t necessarily agree. I don’t think it’s a given that the next guy is getting a hit given that the situation is different.
