Yes that is true, but the sit. stated that the BR was called out (on the appeal)!

My question is what if BR only touches the white base, over runs 1B and F3 appeals that BR missed 1B. BR is called out ...

Now you're assuming the umpire was right
It is a good assumption.
I think Scott's point was that it is possible for a BR to not believe a play is being made and an after-the-fact throw is whipped toward 1B in an attempt to get the call if they saw or suspect the BR hit the wrong bag. Especially since this must be a live ball appeal unless the runner advanced farther without returning to touch 1B.
If you want to get picky, you could also bring up the argument that it was possible the throw came from foul territory thus allowing the BR to hit the white bag legally.
