I have no visions of demonstrating any kind of mastery of anything. dddunn3d provided a situation and asked for a rule cite, and I offered 5.07. You countered with a straightforward reason why--the runner was already out--which I completely agree with, and I simply tweaked the situation so that the runner is not out, and asked a related question. I honestly have nothing to add out of the "rules-arcana" domain other than a straightforward read of 5.07.
