Disc Golf Rules?

Does the rule book actually require a "mini" placement for a lost disc?
Your lie is marked by the disc you threw or a mini marker. If the thrown disc isn't found than you would have to go with the mini.


803.11 B. A player whose disc is declared lost shall receive one penalty throw. If the throw was made from the tee, the player will re-tee for the next shot. If not made from the tee, the group will determine the approximate lie from which the throw was made, and the player will throw again from that lie. In all cases the original throw plus one penalty throw shall be counted in the player's score.

803.03 A. After each throw, the thrown disc must be left where it came to rest until the lie is established by the placing of a marker. This can be done by placing a mini marker disc on the playing surface between the hole and the disc, directly in line with the hole, on the line of play, touching the thrown disc. A player may instead choose, without touching or repositioning the thrown disc, to use the thrown disc as the marker. The marker may not be moved until the throw is released. A marker inadvertently moved prior to the throw shall be returned to its correct location.
 
But it doesn't say you HAVE to use a mini to establish the previous lie. If the player had thrown from behind a disc instead of a mini he could choose to replace that disc like it was. No?
