I also think this has nothing to do with your analogy of the ball hitting the bat or vice versa because that is based on an actual rule that the bat cannot strike the ball twice if fair.

Absolutely, yes. That is an out. Based on an actual rule. And as others have stated in this post. Not sure what part of that is unclear.
Again, read the rule referenced. It is crystal clear, and there is no written interpretation that changes it. 8.2-F(4) The batter-runner is out when ..... contacts a fair batted ball before reaching first base.
I suggest you cite any rule or specific written interpretation from ASA/USA that you feel contradicts this.
If you cannot see the analogy, maybe you should ask someone you trust how it applies, since you seem unwilling to consider it.
