You're being overly technical. But since you are there, are you sure the BR did not shuffle her feet a bit and thereby momentarily "leave" the base and "return"? Do you see how "angels on the head of a pin" this interpretation becomes?
You can't honor a live ball missed base appeal when the runner is standing on the base supposedly missed.
The rule clearly states it is a missed base appeal, not a case of a runner being off the base.
