I think I understand the point they are making. Bases loaded, none out. Ball hit to F3. Runners go, but F3 steps on first before throwing home. BR is out, force is removed, F2 is waiting to apply a tag to R3. R3 notices this and scrambles back to 3B. R2 didn't see the tag at first so doesn't know the force is off and comes into third. R1 is a pitcher and doesn't know how to run the bases, so he comes charging around and only stops when he collides with the pile-up on third.
Who has the right to the base? There was no force, so R1 and R2 are in the wrong spot.
But this doesn't change the basic argument. No matter what order I tag the three runners in, the same two are out. In this case R3 is safe with R1, R2 out.
