No, putting a card into play gets around situations just like Two Left Feet. When you play a card you are putting it into play, but the reverse is not true. Putting a card into play is not the same as playing a card. They both give you the same end result, but get around some shenanigans like hero's cannot play cards.
I just checked my Clarifications doc, and this bit about putting cards into play is already in there. Guess it's getting to the point where I can't even keep track of the contents of my own doc. I don't have a citation for where it was confirmed because I was lazy like that back in the day, but the fact that it's in there means that it was officially confirmed at some point.
