I think, DG, that you are responding to Gee (if you'd quote a little of the relevant post, it would help).
Assuming that's true, you and he are discussing different plays. Gee assumed that F3 had no play on the ball (that is, it didn't go "through or immediately by" him). So, as he stated, R1 is out.
In your play, F3 did have a chance. In this instance, R1 is not out.
(Both plays assume no other fielder has a play.)
