Shouldn't this rule be changed?

I was under the impression that you had to remove one of the stumps. I remember watching a domestic game where someone (Tom Moody, maybe) where the bails had been removed somehow, and they went for a run, upon which one of the fielders hit the stumps with the ball and he was given out. The batsman then consulted with the umpire, and it was the only time I'd seen an umpire recall a decision, because the stumps obviously hadn't been removed.
Also remember it happening back in the late 80s/early 90s when Australia were playing the West Indies. The Aussie batsman hit the wicket off a no ball and started to walk off but the Windies fielders picked up the ball and knocked the stumps out.
